Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large, deep skillet combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, and garlic over medium/high heat. You won’t need oil as the turkey has enough fat to keep the food from sticking. Brown the meat and drain off the excess fat.
  3. Stir the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, fennel seed and salt into the meat mixture, bring it to a boil, and let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, boil the lasagna noodles according to the directions on their packaging.
  5. While the meat sauce is simmering and the noodles are boiling, lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Next add the cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese, and parsley to eggs and stir until they’re combined.
  6. Drain the lasagna noodles in a colander and use tongs to lay 5 lasagna noodles, overlapping, in the bottom of the 9×13 pan. top the noodles with half the cottage cheese mixture (it should spread thin). Then top the cottage cheese mixture with just enough shredded mozzarella to to cover it. (Should be about 1/3 lb or 1 and 2/3 – 2 cups.) Then top the mozzarella with half of the meat sauce.
  7. Repeat the layering one more time and sprinkle your remaining parmesan cheese on the top layer of meat sauce.
  8. Bake on the top rack of the oven at 375 for 30 -35 minutes (or until the cheese in browned and bubbling on the sides).
  9. I usually let the lasagna rest for about 15-20 minutes before serving to let it set up and cool off a bit. The layers will hold much better if you give it the extra time.
Freezer instructions
  1. Prepare the lasagna using the directions above in a disposable 9×13 pan that has a lid.
  2. On the lid, write: • Preheat the oven to 375 and cover the lasagna with foil • bake for 1.5 hours – remove the foil and bake for 40 additional minutes until heated through and the cheese is browned and bubbling on the sides • The center of the lasagna should reach 160 degrees when warmed all the way through. • Let the lasagna rest for 15 – 20 minutes before serving
