INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (113g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (62g)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil (or water for lower calories) until fragrant. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix in the marinara sauce with the cooked turkey and allow it to simmer for a few minutes.
Layer the bottom of a small baking dish with a few zucchini slices. Spread a layer of the turkey marinara mixture over the zucchini, followed by dollops of low-fat ricotta cheese and a light sprinkle of part-skim mozzarella cheese. Add a few fresh basil leaves.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of zucchini topped with mozzarella and basil.
Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Let sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the lasagna to set.
