Lean Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
Savor a lighter twist on a classic lasagna that swaps traditional pasta with tender zucchini slices layered with savory lean turkey and a vibrant tomato sauce, enriched by dollops of creamy part-skim ricotta and a sprinkle of melted mozzarella. This dish delivers a delicious balance of protein and flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/3 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/8 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lightly sprinkle with salt and set aside to draw out excess moisture.
In a skillet, sauté minced garlic in a tiny drizzle of olive oil (optional, if within your calorie range) until fragrant. Add lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and chopped fresh basil. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Using a baking dish, layer the zucchini slices as you would pasta. Spread a portion of the turkey tomato mixture over the zucchini, then add dollops of part-skim ricotta and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
Repeat the layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Bake the lasagna in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
