DIRECTIONS

Directions:

  1. In a large pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and cook the ground turkey, mushrooms and onions until turkey is browned, about 6 minutes. Add marinara sauce and heat another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. In another bowl, mix together eggs, Parmesan, ricotta and cottage cheeses.
  3. In a large, greased, 9 x 13-inch pan, assemble the lasagna. Place 1 layer of meat sauce, then layer with lasagna noodles. Add 1 layer of the cheese mixture, then sprinkle 1 layer of mozzarella. Repeat the layering until all the ingredients are used, finishing with cheese mixture and about 1/2 cup of mozzarella for the top.
  4. Heat oven to 350 degrees F, cover, and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove cover, and bake for another 5 minutes to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the oven, and let cool a bit.
  5. Before serving use a small spoon to carefully make stripes with the remaining sauce. Place chopped olives in the upper left-hand corner of the lasagna to make the "stars" of the flag. Serve immediately, and enjoy!

*Note: You can skip boiling your lasagna noodles simply by soaking them in warm water beforehand or by using a little more sauce than usual.
