Heat the water in a skillet until boiling. Add a pinch of salt and the lasagna noodles and cook for 8 minutes until slightly firm. Drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Wipe the skillet and add the ground beef, ground turkey, and minced garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat into small crumbles, for 6 to 8 minutes until browned. Done when browned and opaque in the center, 165°F.
Stir the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, and black pepper into the meat. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
In a small bowl, stir together the cottage cheese and egg white until well combined.
In an 8x4-inch loaf pan, spread a spoonful of meat sauce. Layer with one noodle, more sauce, half the zucchini slices, and half the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat layers, finishing with the last noodle, remaining sauce, and shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the filling is set. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Done when set and bubbling, 160°F.
