INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and let sit to release excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until the meat is browned and crumbly. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in half of the fresh basil.
Stir in the marinara sauce with the cooked turkey; let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a bit of salt, pepper, and the remaining basil.
In a baking dish, layer zucchini slices, turkey marinara mixture, and dollops of the ricotta mixture. Repeat layers, finishing with a top layer of zucchini.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful baked zucchini lasagna!
