- 3 cans (8 oz each) no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 6 oz tomato paste

- 2 tsp sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

- 9 whole wheat lasagna noodles
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
- 1-1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions
Step 1
In large skillet, cook ground beef and turkey sausage over medium heat until browned, drain after cooking.
Step 2
Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. During this time, cook lasagna noodles.
Step 3
Make cheese mixture by combining eggs, Bison Cottage Cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, and parsley in a small bowl.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 5
Spread 1 cup meat sauce into a 13x9 baking dish coated with cooking spray or olive oil.
Step 6
Layer 3 lasagna noodles, half of cheese mixture, 1-1/3 cups meat sauce and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers and top with remaining noodles and meat sauce.
Step 7
Cover and bake lasagna for 55-60 minutes, until bubbly, and top with provolone and remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered 15-20 minutes longer, until cheese is melted.
Step 8
Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with additional parsley, serve, and enjoy!
