Turkey Lasagna

Attribution: Original recipe from Albertson's email


Ingredients

1 cup onion -- chopped
1 cup bell pepper -- chopped
1-1/4 pound ground turkey
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
15 oz cottage cheese
10 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese
about 12 lasagna noodles




Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Saute onion and pepper together. Add turkey and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes (including the juice from the can) and tomato sauce; stir to combine and bring to a boil. Remove from heat; add salt and pepper to taste.

In a bowl, mix cottage cheese and 8 oz of the Mozzarella cheese.

Spray pan with non-stick spray and spread 1 cup of the sauce on the bottom. Add 3 noodles on top of sauce. Spread 1/2 of cottage cheese mixture on top of noodles. Put 3 more noodles on top of cheese, then 3 cups of the sauce on top of those. Again put 3 noodles onto the sauce and the rest of the cottage cheese mixture on that. The last 3 noodles follow, and then the rest of the sauce.

Sprinkle the remaining Mozzarella on top.

Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and the lasagna is hot and bubbly. Let pan sit for 10-15 minutes before serving, if you have the patience to accomplish that.
