Instructions:
For Meat Sauce:
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and sauté for
5 minutes. Add ground turkey and Italian sausage and cook until no longer
pink. Drain any excess fat.
• Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, garlic powder, sugar, Italian
seasoning, salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer
uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For Cheese Filling:
• In a large bowl, combine egg, basil, cottage cheese, ricotta, Parmesan,
Asiago, and black pepper.

roasting pan. Layer with three noodles, 1½ cups of cheese mixture, and
½ cup of mozzarella.
• Layer again with three noodles, 1½ cups of meat sauce, 1½ cups cheese
mixture, and ½ cup of mozzarella. Repeat layering again using the remaining
cheese filling, but reserving some meat sauce and shredded mozzarella.
