Directions
Yields 8 servings.

Preheat oven to 450.

First, prepare sauce in a saucepan. Heat a large pot to med-hi and saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add turkey and saute until turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Add 1 cup water, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, bay leaf and pepper to pot and stir. Reduce heat to simmer and cook about 1 hour.

in the meantime, place eggplant and zucchini on a foil lined cookie sheet, sprayed with Pam. Sprinkle with grill seasoning and bake for 20 minutes, turning once.

Put ricotta, egg, parmesan, parsley flakes and pepper in food processor until it reaches a ricotta-like consistency.

Cover the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with a thin layer of sauce. Layer the eggplant and zucchini. Pour turkey meat sauce over veggies. Layer the cottage cheese on top and sprinkle with mozzerella.

Bake at 350, covered for about 20 minutes (if at room temp) and broil for the last 2 minutes if you prefer the top to be brown and bubbly.

    I used 4 regular lasagna noodles on top, which when broken down into 8 servings adds 53 calories and 10 carbs. I find it really is a good fake real lasagna that way... if you can handle the carbs of course. I also used my own homemade ricotta instead of cottage cheese. - 3/15/18
