INGREDIENTS
75g Zucchini
75g Eggplant
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella (28g)
80g Lean Ground Turkey, cooked
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the zucchini and eggplant lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.
Arrange the slices on a lined baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until they are tender and slightly browned.
While the vegetables roast, heat a small pan over medium heat and add the lean ground turkey. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, then mix in the tomato sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese with nutritional yeast. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
To assemble, layer a slice of roasted eggplant, then a slice of zucchini, spoon a thin layer of the turkey-tomato mixture, and dollop some of the ricotta mixture. Repeat the layers until your serving dish is filled, finishing with a top layer of zucchini and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
Place the assembled lasagna in the oven for 5-7 minutes, just enough to allow the mozzarella to melt and become bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with a sprinkle more of dried basil or fresh herbs if available, and serve warm.
