INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lightly salt and set aside to draw out excess moisture.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Mix in the spinach and chopped basil until wilted.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
Layer the dish by spreading a thin layer of the turkey and tomato mixture in a baking dish, followed by a layer of zucchini slices. Dollop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the zucchini, then repeat the layering process.
Finish with a top layer of turkey mixture. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the top to set slightly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
