INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips. Lay them on paper towels and lightly sprinkle with salt to draw out excess moisture.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground turkey. Sauté until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato sauce, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a baking dish, layer a few zucchini strips at the bottom. Spread half of the turkey sauce over the zucchini, then dollop evenly with part-skim ricotta cheese and sprinkle some low-fat mozzarella.
Repeat the layering with remaining zucchini, turkey sauce, and cheeses. Finish with a layer of zucchini and a light sprinkle of mozzarella on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
