Turkey Meatball Lasagna

0 Par-cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles until just less cooked than al dente — they'll finish cooking in the oven. Drain and run cold water over them in the strainer, then set aside.
1 Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F.
2 Make the cheese mixture: In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Blend for just a few seconds, until smooth and incorporated. Set aside.
3 Start the base layer: In a 13x9 casserole dish, spread sauce on the bottom of the pan.
4 First layer: Layer par-cooked noodles over the sauce (it's okay if they overlap), then spread half of the cottage cheese mixture, half of the meatballs, some of the mozzarella, and more sauce.
5 Second layer: Repeat with more noodles, the remaining cottage cheese mixture, the remaining meatballs, more mozzarella, and more sauce.
6 Top layer: Top with the remaining sauce and finish with the remaining mozzarella.
7 Bake covered: Cover tightly with foil and bake until the pasta is cooked through about 55 to 60 minutes
8 Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking until bubbly and golden on top about 10 minutes
9 Rest and serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
