Lean Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
A light and satisfying lasagna that uses thinly sliced zucchini in place of pasta, layered with lean ground turkey, rich tomato sauce, and a blend of low-fat cheeses. This wholesome dish offers a balanced mix of flavors and textures perfect for a nutritious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/8 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lay the strips on a paper towel and lightly salt them to help remove excess moisture, then set aside for 10 minutes.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in a small splash of water or olive oil substitute until fragrant. Add the lean ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through. Season with dried oregano and basil, and mix well.
Stir in the tomato sauce to the turkey mixture and allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes to combine flavors.
Prepare a small baking dish by layering a portion of the turkey sauce at the bottom. Next, add a layer of zucchini slices, followed by dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese and a light sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of turkey sauce topped with the remaining mozzarella.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is bubbly and the edges of the zucchini begin to soften.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
