Preheat oven to 375F. Add 1 tbsp oil to a large oven safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot add finely diced zucchini to the pan and saute for about 5 minutes.
Push the zucchini to the side of the pan and add just a splash more oil if needed. Add the 1 lb ground turkey to the pan and crumble as it browns. Saute for about 5 minutes. Mix the turkey and zucchini together and season with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Blend 2 cups cottage cheese until smooth with an immersion blender
Reduce the heat to low and pour the 25oz jar marinara sauce into the skillet and toss with the turkey zucchini. Take 6oz no boil lasagna noodles and break into bite size pieces as you mix them into the skillet. Mix one noodle into the sauce at a time to prevent clumping.
When all of the noodles are mixed in, remove the skillet from the heat. Dollop the blended cottage cheese over top and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over top.
Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake at 375F for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. You can broil for a few minutes at the end to really brown the cheese if desired.

If you can't find no boil lasagna noodles, you can use standard lasagna noodles or any type of noodle, but be sure to cook the pasta in salted water before assembling the lasagna.
Feel free to use another type of green veggie like spinach in place of the zucchini
You can use ricotta cheese in place of the whipped cottage cheese, but this will affect the amount of protein per serving.
Feel free to use a different type of ground meat. You can use ground chicken, ground pork or ground beef, but again this will change the amount of protein per serving.
