Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground turkey; cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.

02

Step
5 mins

Stir enchilada sauce and diced tomatoes into the pot; simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

03

Step
20 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

04

Step
0 mins

Combine cottage cheese, egg, and cumin in a small bowl.

05

Step
0 mins

Spread ⅓ turkey sauce in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish; cover with ½ corn tortillas. Spread ½ cottage cheese mixture on top; sprinkle with ⅓ Mexican cheese. Repeat layers once more. Top with remaining ⅓ turkey sauce and ⅓ Mexican cheese.

06

Step
0 mins

Coat a large piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray; cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, coated-side down.

07

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking until top is browned, about 15 minutes. Cool before serving, 15 minutes; garnish with green onion.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the turkey mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground beef or chicken for the turkey.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the baking dish before assembling the lasagna.
Cooling before serving allows the lasagna to set, making it easier to cut and serve.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and visual appeal.
