INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a peeler or mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to use as lasagna noodles. Lay them on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Stir in the dried Italian herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the turkey is nearly cooked through, add the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes.
To assemble the lasagna, layer the zucchini slices in a small baking dish. Top with a portion of the turkey and marinara mixture, then dollop and gently spread the ricotta cheese over it. Repeat the layers if your dish allows.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the edges of the zucchini soften.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
