Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey sausage
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced small
28 oz crushed tomatoes
4 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tbsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add ground turkey sausage and brown, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the diced onion and carrots and cook until softened, about 6 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock, scraping the pot to release brown bits.
Add dried herbs, salt, and pepper, then bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and add the broken lasagna noodles.
Cook for 10-12 minutes or until noodles are al dente.
Remove from heat and stir in the ricotta cheese before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Noodles may absorb broth over time; add a splash of water or stock when reheating. For a gluten-free option, substitute with your favorite gluten-free lasagna sheets.
