INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove
Olive Oil Spray
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil and arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer. Bake for 5-7 minutes until just softened, then set aside.
In a skillet, spray a little olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the tomato sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with chopped basil. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
In a small baking dish, layer the zucchini slices at the bottom. Spread half of the turkey-tomato mixture over the zucchini, then dollop and spread the ricotta mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of zucchini and the remaining turkey mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired before serving.
