Skillet Lasagna

This is a Pampered Chef Recipe that I has made it's way into my frequently used recipes. 


Skillet Lasagna

1 jar 24-26 oz of spaghetti sauce (feel free to make your own, I like Prego's traditional)
3 cups water (I use jar from sauce, plus a little)
8 oz lasagna noodles, break each into thirds
1 lb ground turkey italian style (I really recommend the italian style, it calls for sausage, but I like this better)
2 garlic cloves minced
2 oz parmesan cheese (about a 1/4 cup)
2 Tb chopped fresh parsley divided
1 c ricotta cheese
 1/2 shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 t black pepper
 
 
Combine sauce and water in large skillet, cover and bring to a boil. Stir noodles into sauce. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 16-18 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

In another pan cook turkey breaking up until no longer pink; then add garlic and cook 1 minute longer.

In a bowl combine cheeses, parsley, and pepper.

When noodles are done, mix in turkey, then scoop cheese mixture into the skillet (do not stir it in, make it look like dollops of sour cream, or scoops of ice cream) cover and simmer gently 3-5 until cheese is heated through. Sprinkle remanding parsley as garnish.
