HOOD COTTAGE CHEESE CHEESY LASAGNA

6 ounces oven-ready lasagna noodles (9 pieces, total)
8 ounces 100% ground turkey breast
2 cups fat free spaghetti sauce with vegetables
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups Hood Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 1 tbsp. dried parsley
8 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Brown turkey in nonstick pan, breaking into crumbles. Drain fat from meat, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together meat and 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs; add cottage cheese, basil, oregano and
parsley.

To assemble, spread a small amount of sauce on bottom of (11-by-7-by-2-inch) baking dish. Layer 3 sheets of oven-ready noodles crosswise over sauce.

On top of noodles, layer 1/2 cup cottage cheese-egg mixture, then half the mozzarella cheese, then half of the meat-sauce mixture.

For the next layer, place another 3 noodles crosswise in pan; repeat the steps in order with remaining ingredients.

Top final layer of noodles with 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, spreading evenly across top. Sprinkle entire top with Parmesan cheese.

Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
