INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (No Salt Added)
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise to create lasagna-like strips. You may lightly salt them and let sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion with minced garlic until softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Season with dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
In a baking dish, layer a single layer of zucchini slices, then spread a portion of the turkey-tomato mixture, dollop half of the ricotta cheese evenly, and sprinkle a bit of mozzarella.
Repeat the layering process once more, ending with a final layer of zucchini topped with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving.
