INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 medium Zucchini
100g Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (No Sugar Added)
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise into long strips. If desired, lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then pat dry.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic with a dash of olive oil until fragrant and soft.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked.
Stir in half of the marinara sauce into the turkey mixture and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
In a baking dish, start by spreading a thin layer of the remaining marinara sauce on the bottom. Then layer with zucchini slices, followed by a layer of turkey mixture and dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese.
Add a few torn basil leaves over the ricotta. Repeat the layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of zucchini on top and a drizzle of the remaining sauce.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to set slightly.
Garnish with extra fresh basil before serving.
