Brown Rice Lasagna Skillet
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 25 mins
- Total Time: 30 mins
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 cups COOKED brown rice (I use the quick cooking kind – cook in chicken or veggie stock if you have it)
- 1 pound Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
- 1/2 large onion (1 heaping cup diced)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 cups jarred marinara sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup low fat ricotta cheese
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- Basil leaves, sliced (for topping at the end)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium high/high heat, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil
- Add your turkey sausage, removed from their casings. Season with salt and pepper, break up into small pieces with a spoon, and brown. Once browned, remove to a plate and set aside
- In the same pan, add 2 more teaspoons of olive oil and your onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper
- Cook for a few minutes until onions have softened
- Add your turkey sausage back in with the veggies, and season with your oregano and Italian seasoning. Stir together until combined
- Add your marinara sauce
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes
- Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Add your rice (make sure your rice is seasoned with salt and pepper – if your rice is bland, your whole dish will turn out slightly bland) and stir until fully combined
- In this next step, you can do one of two things: 1. Add your ricotta and mozzarella, stir together until combined, and serve just like that. 2. Sprinkle your mozzarella on top, broil in the oven for a few minutes until melted, pull out of the oven, and add dollops of ricotta cheese before serving. Both will end up tasting the same – the second option just looks prettier!
- Serve with sliced basil sprinkled over top
