Add the marinara sauce and water to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the turkey and mushroom sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the turkey and mushroom sauce, and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
