Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  minutes

  garlic in the sauté pan.
• 3 Add Spices to the ground turkey/sausage mixture. Cook until the meat is
  completely cooked through, about 5 minutes
• 4 When ground turkey and sausage are completely cooked, add the tomatoes, tomato
  paste, and 1 ½ cups of water
• 5 Bring the meat and sauce to a boil over medium-high heat (about 5 minutes). Turn
  down the heat and simmer the meat sauce mixture. Simmer for one hour until the
  sauce is thickened
• 6 DO NOT cook the Lasagna Noodles.
  
  Buy the regular lasagna noodles - NOT the oven-ready noodles.
• 7 Put a layer of sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. About 1 cup.
• 8 Then add a layer of noodles on top of the sauce. Add 1 cup of sauce on top of
  the noodles
• 9 Add ½ cup of the cottage cheese
• 10 Add Mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese
• 11 Add another layer of lasagna noodles
• 12 Add turkey/sausage tomato sauce mixture
• 13 Layer more Cottage cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Continue layering.
  The top of the lasagna is the Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese
• 14 Add 1 cup of water
• 15 Cover with Aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  
  Tent the foil over the top of the lasagna. This is done so the cheese won't burn
  while cooking.
• 16 Bake with foil tented over the lasagna for at least 50 minutes or until the
  lasagna is bubbling.
• 17 Remove the foil and cook for another 15 minutes or until the lasagna is golden
  brown
