Lasagna with Meat Sauce

Brown ground turkey and sausage in a large pan over medium heat. Drain any excess fat and add the garlic to the pan. Sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Slightly break apart the tomatoes as you stir. Stir in basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preheat oven to 300ºF.

In a bowl, stir together cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and grated mozzarella cheese.

In an ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan, alternate layers of sauce, noodles, and cheese, starting with a little sauce on the bottom. End with a layer of sauce and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
