INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean 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 tbsp Olive Oil
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to form the lasagna noodles. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs, and cook until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce with the turkey and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a baking dish, layer a few zucchini strips on the bottom. Spread a portion of the turkey and tomato sauce over the zucchini, dollop and gently spread a layer of ricotta, and sprinkle some shredded mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layers as desired until all ingredients are used, ending with a topping of 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 bubbly and slightly golden.
Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving.
