INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
2 large Egg Whites
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Lightly season with a pinch of garlic powder and fresh basil.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Mix the egg whites into the turkey along with a pinch more garlic powder for extra flavor, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir the low-fat ricotta cheese with the remaining chopped basil.
Layer the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish with a few zucchini slices, then spoon a layer of the turkey and egg white mixture, drizzle a bit of tomato sauce, and add a thin layer of the ricotta mixture.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of zucchini slices on top and a final drizzle of tomato sauce.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the layers have melded together.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
