INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 medium Zucchini, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup No Salt Added Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Part-Skim Shredded Mozzarella
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or knife; these will act as your 'noodle' layers.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Season with garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, and cook until the turkey is fully browned and crumbled.
Layer a baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom.
Arrange a layer of zucchini slices over the sauce, then spread a portion of the cooked turkey, drizzle with additional tomato sauce, and dollop small spoonfuls of low-fat cottage cheese. Sprinkle a bit of shredded mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layers as needed to build your lasagna, finishing with a final 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 melted and slightly golden.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving.
