  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

    1 small onion, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 16 oz turkey sausage
  • Stir in sauce and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. If sauce seems too thick, add in a little water or chicken broth to thin the sauce. While sauce is simmering combine cheeses and Italian seasoning in a small bowl and set aside. After sauce has simmered for 5 minutes, stir in garlic.
    1 cup 2% cottage cheese, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 24 oz marinara sauce, 2 cloves garlic
  • Scoop cheese mixture and evenly distribute across the skillet.
  • Break up lasagna sheets and place evenly across the skillet. Spray a large piece of foil with cooking spray and cover skillet. Simmer on low for 15 minutes or until noodles are soft. Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving and top with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use an immersion blender or food processor to combine the cheese mixture for a smoother texture.
  • Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
  • Spray the foil with a bit of olive oil spray to prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil before topping the lasagna.
  • Simmer lasagna on low heat to avoid burning. Add a little bit of water or chicken broth to your sauce if it's super thick to prevent burning.
  • How to clean a cast iron skillet: If the sauce does burn use baking soda to remove burn marks from your cast iron skillet.
  • Let lasagna set for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
  • Make recipe ahead and cool before storing in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. To make it easier, use a disposable pan covered in aluminum foil and sealed within a large Ziploc bag.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave in 60 second increments until heated through. To reheat the entire skillet, heat in a 350F oven until heated through.
  • Make this recipe up to 4 days in advance.
