I recently found this delicious lasagna recipe in an SF church cook book from 7+ years ago. It's a little time consuming, but very tasty. Plus I didn't have to cook for 5 days after making it last week ("Well we still have lasagna in the fridge, so...").
1 lb. ground turkey (or ground beef)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. sugar
1.5 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. salt
16 oz. can crushed tomatoes
10 3/4 oz. can condensed tomato soup
6 oz. can tomato paste
2.5 cups water
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
12 oz. container cottage cheese (no fat tastes fine to me)
2 cups mozzarella, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan, shredded
*Brown turkey and onion in a large pot, then drain. Stir in sugar, basil, salt, tomatoes, soup, paster and water. Heat to a boil, stirring occasionally. Then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
Spread 2 cups of the sauce mixture in an ungreased 9x13 pan. Top with 4 noodles, spread with 1/2 of the cottage cheese, then 2 more cups sauce and 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat with 4 noodles, rest of cottage cheese, 2 cups sauce and remaining mozzarella. Top with 4 noodles, remaining sauce, and parmesan on top. Cover with tin foil (it can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours at this point).
Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30-40 minutes more. Let it stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
P.S. I just realized I ate a bowl of leftover sauce for lunch. I thought I was thawing out chili! So weird, but it was delicious.

I LOVE that cookbook! I use mine all the time! Whos recipe was that? I love knowing who submitted what recipe. Also, I am so so so so tired today. I am borderline going crazy tired. When I read that last comment about how you ate the sauce for lunch, I laughed so hard out loud that I scared my kids. I am still laughing out loud right now as I type this. Thank you for making this tired mama have something to laugh about while I put my kids to bed. Dave is gone but I can't wait for him to come home so I can tell him all about this.
