Turkey Lasagna

Preparation time: 20 min Servings: 16
Cooking time: 65 min

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 lb ground turkey
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp tarragon
1/4 lb unsalted butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1-1/4 cups skim milk
3/4 cup dry white wine
1-1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
12 lasagna noodles
2 cups lowfat cottage cheese

Cooking Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or flameproof casserole over medium high heat. Sauté ground turkey and onion about 5 minutes, stirring to break up lumps of meat, until turkey is browned. Remove from heat and discard excess liquid. Stir in rosemary, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium low heat. Whisk in flour and cook 2 minutes, stirring, without letting mixture brown. Whisk in stock, milk and wine. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes, whisking often. Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Set sauce aside. Cook lasagne noodles in a large pan of boiling water 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Cover bottom of a lightly buttered 9x13 in. baking dish with a thin layer of sauce. Arrange a single layer of 4 slightly overlapping lasagne noodles over it. Cover with half of turkey mixture. Spoon on 1 cup cottage cheese, then spoon on another third of sauce. Arrange another layer of noodles in dish. Cover with remaining turkey mixture and cottage cheese. Spoon on half of remaining sauce. Top with a final layer of noodles, then cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over top. (Dish can be prepared to this point; cover and refrigerated for 1 day before baking.) Bake about 50 minutes, until lasagne is bubbling and top is lightly browned. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving. If freezing cooked food, divide into freezer/oven-proof containers in the amounts you will use at one time. Cool as quickly as possible to retain freshness. (Dairy, egg and meat based dishes should cool in refrigerator.) Cover tightly and place in freezer for up to 3 months. Reheating options: Place frozen food in oven and turn on heat to 375°F. Bake about 1 hour, or until bubbly. Or, transfer food to a covered microwave-safe container and heat on high setting until bubbly. (USDA recommends reheating meats to 165°F to destroy any bacteria.)
