I imagine the homemade sauce described is great, but for time restraints, I actually used a jar of Classico Tomato and Basil sauce. I also combined 1 cup cottage cheese with 2 cups shredded 6-cheese Italian blend (which has Mozzarella & Parmesan in it) I also combined the sauce, meat-onion, and pasta all together before layering it with the cheeses above. Served it with garlic bread and a green salad - it was delicious and not too heavy!

I often use this casserole when I need to take dinner to someone. It is always good to find something that is healthy for you. I will often freeze casserole so I can take it out when I do not feed like cooking. Great recipe!

Oops. The review I just posted wasn't for this recipe and I'm not sure how to erase it. Ignore my babbling about Thanksgiving turkey!
We enjoyed this recipe, although we found it a bit bland. I added cumin, red pepper flakes and coriander to give it a bit more life. All in all, it was a great way to use my leftover Thanksgiving turkey.Thanks for the recipe!

I think that next time I will mix the sauce and pasta together before layering.

Quick and easy.like the dditions suggested for a variation I use majorum in fish chowder along with sweet basil so is always on hand that way.

Very good recipe. I omitted the salt but never even missed.

This was very good. Like another reviewer, I omitted the marjoram since I don't keep it on hand. Instead, I added the Parmesan cheese to the cottage cheese, since fat-free cottage cheese doesn't have much flavor. More tweaks: turkey pepperoni, which I halved and sauteed along with the ground turkey (I used app. 16 slices,halved); garlic added to the meat sauce; basil added to the meat sauce. Using Italian turkey sausage instead of plain ground turkey would also be good. Good recipe--I'll make it again. Weight Watcher pointsplus friendly!
