INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 medium Onion, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as noodle substitutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and aromatic.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cottage cheese with the part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Layer the ingredients in a baking dish: start with a thin layer of the turkey sauce, then lay down a layer of zucchini slices, followed by a dollop of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with the turkey sauce on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before serving.
