Lean Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
A lighter twist on classic lasagna using lean ground turkey and thinly sliced zucchini in place of pasta, layered with a rich marinara sauce, creamy low-fat ricotta, and melted mozzarella. This dish delivers a satisfying blend of protein and veggies in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Use a mandolin or knife to slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lay them on paper towels to drain any excess moisture.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat ricotta cheese with a tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, salt, and pepper.
In a baking dish, start by spreading a thin layer of the turkey marinara mixture. Layer zucchini slices over the sauce, then dollop and spread some ricotta mixture, and sprinkle with a little shredded mozzarella. Repeat layers as desired, finishing with a layer of turkey sauce topped with mozzarella.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
Garnish with remaining fresh basil before serving.
