Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 lb ground turkey Italian sausage
2 cups chopped kale
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce

2 large eggs
1 teaspoon coarse salt

9 whole grain no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together marinara sauce, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and the sausage/kale mixture.
  • In the same Dutch oven, spoon some of the sausage mixture into the bottom. Place 3 noodles on top, breaking them up to fit the pot, if necessary. Top with 1/3 of the sausage mixture then top with 1/3 of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 35 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 12 minutes. Turn the oven on a low broil and broil for 3-4 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 10 minutes.
