Protein-Packed Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
Savor a comforting twist on traditional lasagna that replaces pasta with tender zucchini strips and layers of seasoned lean turkey, rich tomato sauce, and a blend of low-fat cheeses. This creative dish is not only delicious but also packs a protein punch while keeping the calories in check.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 large Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Optionally, sprinkle with a little salt and let sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then pat dry.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Prepare a small baking dish and layer the ingredients: start with a layer of turkey and tomato sauce, then cover with zucchini strips, followed by dollops of low-fat ricotta and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the layers firm up.
