INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips; set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with dried oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Once the turkey is mostly cooked, stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a baking dish, layer the ingredients: start with a thin layer of the turkey-tomato sauce, then layer zucchini slices, a dollop of ricotta cheese, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of turkey sauce topped with mozzarella.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
