Mexican Turkey Lasagna This recipe has a few "non-scratch" ingredients, but it is so delicious that I had to include it! You can substitute your own homemade salsa if you make it. I am looking for a good salsa recipe to can next year, will post what I find! 1 (16-ounce) jar mild salsa 1 (16-ounce) jar medium salsa 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (10-ounce)package dry lasagna (6 noodles) 2 cups nonfat cottage cheese 2 eggs 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies 4 cups diced cooked chicken or turkey 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1. Pour both jars of salsa into a large non-aluminum saucepan. Add pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce is reduced to 4 cups, about 10 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions and drain well. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Combine noodles, the cottage cheese, eggs, parsley, and chilies; mix well and set aside. 3. Arrange half the cooled lasagna noodles in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread half the cottage cheese mixture over the pasta then half the cooked chicken, then half the salsa mixture 4. Sprinkle half the shredded cheeses on top. Repeat the layering steps, ending with the shredded cheeses. Bake, covered, until bubble and heated through, about 45-50 minutes. Let stand uncovered for 10 minutes before cutting. You can freeze this fully assembled and reheat by cooking for 1 hour at 350 (thaw it in the microwave or overnight first). This is magnificent!
