INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey (142g)
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (62g)
1/4 medium Onion (40g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to mimic lasagna noodles.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat ricotta cheese with chopped fresh basil.
In a baking dish, layer a portion of the turkey-tomato mixture, then add a layer of zucchini strips, followed by a thin spread of the ricotta mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of the turkey mixture on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to let the top firm up slightly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
