INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup No Sugar Added Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Lay the slices on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil and then the lean ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the tomato sauce to the turkey. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the part-skim ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the lasagna in a small baking dish: start with a layer of turkey and tomato sauce, then layer with zucchini slices, dollop of ricotta, and sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
