Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brown 10 ounces of ground turkey and 10 ounces of ground beef together in a skillet; drain excess fat.

Rinse and drain 12 ounces of healthy noodles; cut them into smaller pieces if desired.

In a bowl, combine 4 ounces of low-fat cream cheese (microwaved for 45 seconds), 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of light sour cream, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning; mix until smooth.

Spray a baking dish with olive oil spray.

Layer half of the healthy noodles in the baking dish, followed by half of the meat mixture, then half of the cream cheese mixture.

Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, meat mixture, and cream cheese mixture.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
