Terri's Lasagna

I have to admit that my mom's lasagna is my absolute favorite lasagna. But, due to my husband - who is a very picky eater, I have had to create my own lasagna recipe over the years. As soon as he found out I had been using cottage cheese I had to make revisions. So, this is my lasagna recipe, one my children will hopefully say is their absolute favorite - if only for sentimental reasons. :)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

2. Start with a layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

3. Next add a layer of lasagna noodles.

4. Spread with ricotta cheese.

5. Add a layer of ground turkey (or beef).

6. Top with mozzarella cheese.

7. Sprinkle with basil and oregano.

8. Start all over again with a new layer of marinara sauce, lasagna, ricotta cheese, ground turkey (or beef), mozzarella and a sprinkle of basil and oregano. Continue until your baking dish is filled.

(I recommend leaving a little room at the top - unless you like cleaning your oven.)

9. Bake for approximately 45 minutes.

10. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes before serving.
