Instructions

Bring a large deep skillet to medium heat. Add the ground turkey, spinach, Italian seasoning, and dried basil. Break up the meat with a spoon and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through.
Add the olive oil, onion, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, salt and pepper. Saute 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the marinara and balsamic vinegar. Then drop spoonfuls of the cottage cheese randomly in the pan. Reduce the temperature to a low simmer and cook uncovered for 8 minutes.
Top with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese then cook until the cheese has melted. You can also place the pan under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese. Top with fresh basil and red pepper flakes and serve!

Notes

Choose a heavy bottomed skillet or pan to cook this lasagna to ensure even distribution of heat and prevent the sauce from burning.
If you want to make this ahead of time, follow the recipe up to steps 1 and 2, allow the mixture to cool down and refrigerate for a day. Then, when you’re ready, go ahead with steps 3 and 4 and finish the dish.
