In the bottom of the prepared baking dish, layer 1/2 the zucchini strips. In a bowl, beat together the cottage cheese and egg, and spread over the zucchini.
Scoop 1/2 the turkey mixture over the cottage cheese and egg mixture, and sprinkle with 1/2 the cheddar cheese. Layer with remaining zucchini, beef mixture, and cheddar. Top with Parmesan cheese.
