Cheesy Turkey Lasagna

The first time I made lasagna I failed terribly. But I feel like I have now perfected the technique, and it is always better the next day. This is a pretty traditional recipe, but made with ground turkey instead of beef. We like it very cheesy.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
3 eggs
16 oz cottage cheese
15 oz part skim ricotta
4 oz shredded mozzarella
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 large sweet onion chopped
1 container sliced mushrooms
2  24oz jars spaghetti sauce
Worcestershire sauce, season salt, minced garlic, pepper to taste
Lasagna noodles uncooked (I use multi grain)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet season turkey with worcestershire sauce, season salt, garlic, and pepper and brown meat making sure it is cooked through. Turn heat to medium low and add in onion and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Reduce heat to low and add in spaghetti sauce. My personal favorite is Classico Traditional Sweet Basil.

While that heats, in a large bowl mix eggs, cottage cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, and 2 oz of mozzarella.

Turn off the heat for your meat sauce mixture and spread 1/3 of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Next place noodles side by side on top of the meat sauce.

Spread half the cheese mixture on top of the noddles.

Then place another 1/3 of the meat sauce on top, continue to layer with noodles, and the remaining cheese mixture. Finally top with the last 1/3 of meat sauce. Cover with foil, place on a baking sheet (in case of drips) and bake for 50 minutes. Remove foil, and top with 2 oz of mozzarella and bake for 10 more minutes. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool and firm up a little before serving.

Enjoy! Cheers!
