Enjoy a nutritious spin on classic lasagna by replacing pasta sheets with tender zucchini slices layered with lean ground turkey, a vibrant tomato sauce, and a blend of creamy ricotta and melted mozzarella.

INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Part-skim Shredded Mozzarella
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise to create lasagna-like sheets. Lightly season with salt and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula until it is fully browned. Season with dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a small baking dish, layer the zucchini slices, turkey-tomato mixture, dollops of ricotta cheese, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. Repeat layers as desired, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagna sit for a few minutes before serving.
