1 teaspoon Olive Oil

1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs

Salt and Pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lightly salt the slices and set aside for 10 minutes, then pat dry.

• 3

  Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the lean ground turkey. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.

  Stir in half of the tomato sauce with the cooked turkey. Remove from heat.

  In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cottage cheese with a bit of salt and pepper.

  Layer a baking dish with a thin layer of the remaining tomato sauce. Arrange a layer of zucchini slices, then spread a thin layer of the turkey mixture, dot with cottage cheese, and sprinkle a little mozzarella. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing on a layer of zucchini topped with the remaining tomato sauce and mozzarella.

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
