Protein-Packed Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
A nutritious twist on traditional lasagna that uses lean ground turkey and fresh zucchini slices instead of pasta for a lighter, protein-rich meal. The dish layers savory turkey, creamy low-fat cottage cheese, and a zesty marinara sauce, all infused with Mediterranean herbs for a satisfying and balanced dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, which will serve as the lasagna noodles. Lightly salt and set aside to draw out excess moisture.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion until softened. Add the lean ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until fully browned. Season with garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the marinara sauce with the cooked turkey mixture and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small baking dish, arrange a layer of zucchini slices. Spread half of the turkey mixture over the zucchini, and dollop half of the low-fat cottage cheese evenly on top.
Repeat the layering with the remaining zucchini slices, turkey mixture, and cottage cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
