Ground Turkey Lasagna
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey (Or you can use chicken or lean beef)
3 cups low-sodium tomato sauce
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups low fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2-3 tsp Italian seasoning
6 oven-ready lasagna noodles
4 ounces (1 heaping cup) light mozzarella, shredded
Finely chopped fresh parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions:
In a large skillet, cook ground turkey and garlic. Once cooked, stir in the tomato sauce, and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. In an 8 x 8 to 8 x 11" baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, layer 1/3 of the meat sauce, 2-3 noodles side by side to cover (orientation will depend on the size of the pan and noodles), and 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture.
Repeat the layering process with meat sauce, noodles, and cottage cheese. Add one more layer of the meat sauce and then top with the mozzarella.
Cover with tin foil. Bake for 20 minutes at 350ºF. Remove tin foil and bake for another 10 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
