Lean Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
Savor a lighter twist on lasagna where lean ground turkey and thinly sliced zucchini replace traditional pasta layers. This dish, enriched with a blend of low-fat ricotta and a vibrant tomato sauce, delivers a wholesome, satisfying meal with silky textures and a burst of Italian herbs.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a mandoline or knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as lasagna noodles. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting dry.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce into the turkey mixture and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
In a small baking dish, layer a few zucchini slices, followed by a layer of turkey mixture, and dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of zucchini on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the top to slightly brown.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving to help set the layers.
