  2. Drain off fat. 
  3. Add onion, sauces, water, seasonings, and noodles. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring until thickened.
  4. Stop stirring and turn off heat. Top with the shredded cheese. Allow cheese to melt for a few minutes. Serve.
     
Tips and Variations
Tips and Variations
  • If the ground turkey is frozen, put in the refrigerator to thaw the day before you use it. Put it on the bottom shelf in a dish so the thawing meat juices do not drip onto foods on lower shelves.
  • To reduce fat, first brown the ground turkey thoroughly, then place in a colander and rinse under hot water. Drain the meat before adding to the lasagna recipe.
