Instructions

Sauce

  • Make the turkey bolognese according to recipe directions. Set aside.

Cottage Cheese Filling

  • Place cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, pepper, and eggs into a food processor. 
Process until combined. It's okay if it's still a little chunky.
  • Pulse in spinach until it’s incorporated, then set aside.

Assembly

  • Spread 1 1/2 cups of sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • To assemble: Layer 4 noodles lengthwise - they will overlap slightly - that's ok.
Spread with 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture.
Top with a 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella. Repeat this 2 more times.
  • Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan, then cover with foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray to prevent the cheese from sticking.
  • Bake in at 350 oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes.

  • Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving!
