Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked mostaccioli
1/2 pound lean ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups (16 ounces) fat-free cottage cheese
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook mostaccioli according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook turkey and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain if necessary.
Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese and marjoram; set aside. Drain mostaccioli.
Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce into an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with half of the mostaccioli, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with cottage cheese mixture. Layer with remaining mostaccioli, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (dish will be full).
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Yield: 6 servings.

So yummy! Easier than lasagna and just as good.

This is a great recipe! Lasts for days! I used Italian seasoned tomatoes and turkey meat. It gave the dish so much flavor!

I made this for supper and it was delicious. I used lean ground beef instead of the ground turkey. I didn't have cottage cheese, so I substituted ricotta cheese. I will be making this dish to take to a pot luck. Thanks for the great recipe.

Added more seasoning and half a jar of diced pimiento as well as a layer of turkey pepperoni. Also added some fresh mushrooms into the ground meat near the end of the browning process.

Very good and nice size servings. I thought it tasted very good, but it wouldn't hurt to go a little heavier on the spices.

I added minced garlic and can of drained mushrooms to the meat mixture-also increased water to 1/2 cup -next time I make it I will add additional Italian herbs and maybe some sausage to give extra flavor

This was pretty good, I used ground buffalo instead of turkey. Thought it could use a bit more spice, maybe adding some pepperoni or using sausage instead. All in all was good, and was great for using up leftovers and using ingredients I had on hand.

This recipe was so good. My husband doesn't like Italian recipes much but liked this one. I used 1 1/4 pounds of ground turkey and instead of adding the oregano and marjoram I used one 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano. It's now one of our favorite dishes.

I tried this recipe and my family is asking for more! It is quick and easy but tastes like you spent a long time in the kitchen. A perfect meal for a cold winter day.
