How to Make Bite Sized Instant Pot Lasagna

1) In a skillet brown the ground turkey, then mix in the marinara sauce. Set aside until ready to use.

2) Mix together the Italian cheese blend, ricotta, and egg to make a cheese mixture.

3) Next layer your ingredients together in your silicone egg mold or cupcake liners. Layer in order 1 tbsp meat sauce, 1 slice of zucchini, a dollop if cheese mix, 1 slice yellow squash. Repeat layers until each cup is full.

4) Cover the egg mold with a silicone food cover or aluminum foil.

5) Add 1 cup water to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert and a trivet with long handles. Place the silicone molds on the trivet but stagger them so the cups aren’t sitting directly on top of each other.

6) Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure using manual for 3 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.

7) When the lasagnas are done cooking remove them from the Instant Pot and let them rest on a baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing from the molds. This will allow the zucchini to soak up excess liquid it released while cooking.

8) To remove the lasagnas from the mold, place another baking sheet on top of the mold and flip over quickly. Press the bottom of each cup and remove the mold. Sprinkle with cheese and broil until 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and brown. Enjoy.
