Turkey Spinanch Lasagna

What You Need:

1 lb ground turkey (can sub ground beef if you want to die of a heart attack!)

2 large garlic cloves, crushed or 2 large spoonfuls of minced garlic from a jar

1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I use Bertolli Marinara or Ragu works)

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 (12 ounce) container of cottage cheese

1 1/2 teaspoons pepper

8 lasagna noodles, uncooked

1 (10 ounce) package of spinach, thawed and drained (make sure you get all the juice out otherwise it is super gross after cooked!)

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Brown ground turkey (or beef) with garlic in large skillet over medium heat. I add pepper and salt to taste during this time as well. Drain the meat and put back in skillet to add spaghetti sauce.

Combine egg, cottage cheese, and pepper.

Spread 1/2 of meat sauce in a 12 x9x 2 inch baking dish. Top with half each of uncooked noodles, cottage cheese mixture, spinach, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, and cover with foil.

Cook for 50 minutes, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cook uncovered 10 more minutes

Let stand 10 minutes before serving

Give yourself a full hour and a half to prepare this dish. (30 minutes prep, one hour to cook)
