Lean Ground Turkey Zucchini Lasagna
A light twist on the traditional lasagna using lean ground turkey and thinly sliced zucchini to replace pasta layers. This dish offers a hearty and satisfying blend of savory turkey, rich tomato sauce, and a creamy layer of low-fat cottage cheese, finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan for a hint of depth—all crafted for a balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as your lasagna layers. Lay them on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking up the meat, until it's browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato sauce with the turkey mixture, simmering for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a small baking dish, layer a base of the turkey and tomato sauce mixture. Arrange a layer of zucchini slices over the meat. Dollop spoonfuls of low-fat cottage cheese over the zucchini, then sprinkle a little Parmesan. Repeat layers if your dish dimensions allow, ending with a light sprinkling of Parmesan on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Allow the lasagna to cool slightly before serving.
