Servings: persons

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
1 (16 ounce) container cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
9 whole grain no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.
2
On the stovetop, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften. Add turkey sausage and kale and saute until sausage is browned and kale is wilted, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together marinara sauce, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and the sausage/kale mixture.
4
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.
5
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.
6
Slice and serve with chopped parsley.
