Protein-Packed Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic lasagna with thinly sliced zucchini replacing traditional pasta layers, layered with lean ground turkey, rich tomato sauce, and a blend of low-fat ricotta and mozzarella cheeses for a protein-packed, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 large Egg White
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly oil a small baking dish.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as lasagna noodles. Lightly salt the slices and let them drain on paper towels.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce to the cooked turkey and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese with one egg white to help bind the cheese mixture.
Layer the dish by placing a layer of zucchini slices on the bottom, then spread half of the turkey-tomato mixture, dollop and spread half of the ricotta mixture, and sprinkle a little mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layering with the remaining zucchini, turkey sauce, ricotta mixture, and finish with a final sprinkle of mozzarella.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
