Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb turkey sausage (you can buy or make homemade- recipe below)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 TBS olive oil, divided
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- salt and pepper
- 10 whole wheat lasagna noodles broken into 2 inch pieces
- 1 small zucchini, chopped
- 1 small yellow squash, chopped
- 1 9 oz package of frozen spinach
- 1 cup ricotta cheese, thawed.
- 1/4 cup shredded basil
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, combine sausage and Italian seasoning. Cook until no longer pink. Drain and set aside on a clean plate.
- In same skillet, add 2 TBS of olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion, cook until tender. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add diced tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Pour in broken lasagna noodles. Season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium. Cover, but stir frequently or the lasagna noodles will stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook until veggies begin to tenderize (about 10 minutes).
- Add frozen spinach and cooked sausage. Cook 3-4 minutes uncovered. Stir in ricotta and basil. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Spinach is on the EWG's dirty dozen list so make sure to buy organic if possible!
- Make sure to buy turkey sausage that is raised without hormones and antibiotics. If you want to totally rock the eating healthy thing you can make your own turkey sausage. I like to mix the spices with the raw turkey and then freeze the mixture. Homemade turkey sausage ready when you need it!
- This makes A LOT- be sure to use your biggest skillet or it can get kinda messy!
