LOW-FAT LASAGNA (TURKEY) 
1 lb. ground lean turkey
1 c. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes, cut up
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1 tsp. fennel seed, crushed
1/8 tsp. ground red pepper
8 oz. lasagna noodles
1 beaten egg
2 c. low-fat cottage cheese
3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 oz. Mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet, cook meat, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in the next 7 ingredients. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring mixture often.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions, except omit oil. Drain. Stir together egg, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper.

In a 9x13x2 inch baking dish, layer half of the noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture, half of the Mozzarella, and half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes. Makes 10 servings.

Love this! It's the only way our family makes lasagna now! Only things I changed is double the garlic and add a little bit of wine to the meat mixture. Otherwise fantastic recipe! I've actually used this to convert many ground beef lovers to turkey.
