This is another great Southern Living, Cooking Light, recipe....This is so yummy and you would never guess it was healthy!!
You use ground turkey instead of ground beef, use cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese, and the really crazy part.....use won tons instead of lasagne noodles! It's a little crazy but it really works and tastes great!
Enjoy!
