Low-Fat Turkey Lasagna

This lasagna is delicious AND nutritious.  High in fiber, low in fat -- you really can't go wrong.
Ingredients:
8-10 whole wheat lasagna noodles 
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup partly skimmed mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 lb ground turkey
2 tbsp minced garlic (more or less depending on your love for garlic)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning *
1 tbsp Mrs. Dash garlic & herb seasoning *
1 tsp basil
1 container fat free cottage cheese
3 tbsp egg substitute
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven at 375 F.
2.  Boil water for lasagna noodles.  Cook until al dente, rinse in cold water to prevent from sticking.
3.  Cook ground turkey in frying pan, drain extra water or grease if any.  Add garlic and onion.  Cook until onions have softened.
4.  Add can crushed tomatoes and spices to turkey.  Let sauce simmer in frying pan.
5.  Mix egg substitute with fat-free cottage cheese.
6.  Spray lasagna pan, spread with thin layer of tomato sauce.  Layer noodles, cottage cheese mixture, meat sauce in whatever order you like best.  Sprinkle the very top with mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan.  Put in oven for 30 minutes, enjoy!
*Mrs. Dash has zero sodium and no MSG, and contains potassium. Very flavourful without all the garbage your body doesn't need.
