INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
2 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a knife to serve as lasagna noodles.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and garlic until translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, dried basil, and oregano.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a small baking dish, spread a thin layer of the turkey and tomato sauce mixture. Layer zucchini slices over the sauce, then dollop portions of low-fat ricotta cheese and sprinkle some shredded mozzarella.
Repeat the layering process until all components are used, finishing with a light sprinkle of mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is tender.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
