Lean Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
Savor a lighter take on traditional lasagna where tender layers of thinly sliced zucchini replace pasta, enveloping lean ground turkey simmered with aromatic herbs and rich tomato sauce, all crowned with a creamy blend of ricotta and melted part-skim mozzarella. This dish bursts with savory flavors and satisfying textures while keeping it lean and nutrient-packed.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lightly salt the strips and let them sit to draw out excess water, then pat dry.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Let simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a baking dish, layer zucchini slices at the bottom, then spread a portion of the turkey sauce, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with a top layer of zucchini.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving.
