LIGHT AND DELICIOUS LASAGNA
My husband created this recipe as a great alternative to traditional lasagna because it substitutes cottage cheese for ricotta and has a ton of veggies. My kids love it, so we eat it almost once a week!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with one teaspoon olive oil.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the turkey, mushrooms, basil, oregano, and black pepper; cook and stir until the turkey is no longer pink and the mushrooms have released their liquid, 10 to 15 minutes. Break the turkey meat into crumbles as it cooks. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and spinach. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach leaves are wilted, about 5 minutes; turn off burner.
- Mix the cottage cheese, egg whites, parsley, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Place 4 lasagna noodles into the prepared baking dish, overlapping if necessary, and pour half of the turkey mixture over the noodles. Spread half the zucchini slices over the meat sauce, and top with half of the cottage cheese mixture. Spread half of the mozzarella cheese over the cottage cheese layer. Repeat layers, starting with 4 more noodles, the remaining meat sauce, zucchini slices, cottage cheese mixture, and remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and browned, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

SIMPLY DELICIOUS LASAGNA
The best lasagna you've ever had, and so simple too! I make my own sauce for this lasagna but you can use your favorite jar sauce if you want. The cooking time does not include the time to make the sauce. It is well worth the wait to make your own sauce though!!! Enjoy!

SUSAN'S DELICIOUS LASAGNA BOLOGNESE
This is an authentic tasting "ragu" sauce that is super rich and super flavorful. The bolognese portion of this recipe can be served over any thick pasta, as well as, be the primary component of this lasagna. I happen to LOVE this lasagna and have been tweaking it for years. I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese based lasagna's and as you'll see from this recipe...this is coupled with a beschemel type sauce rather than ricotta or cottage cheese. You can spice this one up further (I sure do!) with crushed red peppers in your sauce. You can also tone it down with mild italian sausage or turkey italian sausage. The Bolognese sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and warmed up to make for the lasagna. This lasagna is also best baked right after assembling or the pasta will absorb the sauces and dry out. Enjoy!!

DELICIOUS CHEESY CHICKEN LASAGNA
If your alfredo sauce already has garlic in it you can omit the fresh garlic, and you can also make this with cooked turkey. If you like more sauce then double up on the amounts, to save time you can prepare the sauce well in advance, this is very good!

ASPARAGUS AND ONION LASAGNA (VERY DELICIOUS!)
I received this recipe about two years ago from my sister-in-law. I was very skeptical because I hated onions and was not to fond of asparagus, but once I ate it I was in love. This is so simple but very delicious and simple to make. I hope you enjoy it! You can always substitute if you want and if you have any good recommendations let me know!
