Lasagna

I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of this lasagna because it always looks (and tastes) delicious. And, it's easy! I haven't been as on top of my blog lately because during all my recent spare time I've been reading The Host (thanks Carley!) by Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight saga. The book is really good, not as good as Twilight, but it's an easy read and extremely gripping. I haven't been able to put it down the last few days. I finally finished it today so here I am on my blog! Here is an easy version of meat lasagna that I always love.

Easy Meat Lasagna

1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
1/4 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 box no-boil lasagna noodles (12 noodles)
1 lb small curd, low-fat cottage cheese
1 egg
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups mozarella cheese

Brown turkey, adding onion and garlic after a couple of minutes of cooking time. Drain grease. Add Marinara sauce and basil to turkey. Stir and let simmer about 5 minutes. Combine cottage cheese, egg, and parmesan cheese. Grease a 9x13 pan. Layer:
