INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1 Egg
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to mimic lasagna noodles. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning into the turkey. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to meld the flavors. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the egg until well combined.
In a baking dish, lay a layer of zucchini slices. Spread a portion of the turkey-tomato sauce over the zucchini, then add a dollop of the cottage cheese mixture. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella on top.
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a sprinkle of mozzarella on the top layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the lasagna is bubbly and the edges of the zucchini are tender.
Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy your protein-packed meal.
