Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf

This is a shout-out for a recipe that I found on allrecipes.com that we loved:  Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf.  It was flavorful and much healthier than regular meatloaf.  I can't take credit for the recipe, so I am putting the link here.  We are planning on putting it into our regular meal rotation.  I recommend it!

Crescent Lasagna

My sister-in-law recently served this at a reunion and it was a hit!  It is easy and delicious.

Crescent Lasagna
4 cans crescent rolls
1 lb. lean hamburger
1 lb. sweet sausage
1 Tablespoon parsley flakes
2 teaspoons basil
2 -6 oz. cans tomato paste
1- 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon oregano
Mozzarella Cheese slices.
Milk, as needed
Sesame Seeds (optional)
In a large sided cookie sheet pan, roll out two of the crescent rolls rolls and flatten over the cookie sheet.  In a skillet, brown the hamburger and sausage.  Drain and add the tomato paste and sauce and the basil and parsley.

In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and oregano.

On top of the rolls in the pan, spread half of the meat, then all of the cheese mixture, then the other half of the meat.  Top with slices of mozzarella cheese to cover all.  Top with two more rolls of crescent rolls.  Wet the surface of the dough with a little bit of milk.  Sprinkle on sesame seeds overall.  Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until it is browned and the dough cooked through.
