INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Part-Skim Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Low-Sugar Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Set aside the slices to be used as lasagna 'noodles'.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano.
Stir in the tomato sauce with the cooked turkey, letting the flavors meld for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
Layer a baking dish with a thin layer of the turkey and tomato sauce mixture. Place a layer of zucchini slices over the sauce, then add dollops of cottage cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of the turkey sauce.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften and the flavors to combine.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow a slight browning on the top.
Let sit for a few minutes before serving to set the layers.
