INGREDIENTS
100g Lean Ground Turkey
200g Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Mozzarella
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife to mimic lasagna noodles.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground turkey and minced garlic. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce, salt, and pepper to the turkey. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
In a small bowl, mix the part-skim ricotta with chopped fresh basil. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a baking dish, layer half of the zucchini slices as the base. Spread half of the turkey tomato sauce evenly, then dollop and gently spread half of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle a little mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layers: zucchini slices, remaining turkey tomato sauce, remaining ricotta mixture, and finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the lasagna to set.
