INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife to create lasagna 'noodles'. Lightly season with salt and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic with a drizzle of olive oil (or a cooking spray) until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart into small pieces. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and chopped fresh basil.
Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the tomato sauce and let simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
In a small baking dish, layer the ingredients starting with a base of turkey and tomato sauce, followed by a layer of zucchini strips, then spread small dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese and sprinkle a little low-fat mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
