Protein-Packed Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
Enjoy a healthier twist on traditional lasagna by replacing pasta with thinly sliced zucchini and loading it with lean ground turkey, rich tomato sauce, and a blend of cottage and mozzarella cheeses. This recipe delivers a comforting yet protein-packed dish perfect for a balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lightly salt them and let them sit for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until it is browned and crumbled. Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lay out a layer of zucchini slices in a small baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the turkey-tomato mixture over the zucchini, then dollop spoonfuls of cottage cheese evenly over it. Sprinkle a light layer of shredded mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a sprinkle of mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
