Number Of Ingredients 9

6 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 lb ground turkey italian sausage
1 large jar favorite spaghetti sauce
3 Tbsp snipped fresh basil
2 Tbsp snipped fresh oregano
2 c cottage cheese
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 8. Allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
