Fresh Zucchini Ricotta Lasagna
Enjoy a lighter twist on classic lasagna, featuring thinly sliced zucchini layered with creamy ricotta, savory lean ground turkey, and a tangy marinara sauce. This dish offers comforting flavors with a fresh, vegetable-forward approach that’s both satisfying and nutrient-dense.
INGREDIENTS
1 large Zucchini (196g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (124g)
3 ounces Lean Ground Turkey (85g)
1 Egg
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife to serve as lasagna noodles.
Lightly salt the zucchini slices and set them aside for 10 minutes to draw out excess water. Then gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the lean ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.
In a bowl, combine low-fat ricotta cheese with the egg, chopped fresh basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
Begin layering in an ovenproof dish by spreading a small amount of marinara sauce on the bottom, then layering zucchini slices, a layer of the ricotta mixture, a layer of cooked ground turkey, and a drizzle of marinara sauce.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a light layer of marinara on top.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
