INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
4 fresh Basil leaves
2 cloves Garlic
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Set aside on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant for about 1 minute.
Add lean ground turkey to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato sauce and half of the torn basil leaves. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and a little pepper.
In a baking dish, start layering: Begin with a thin layer of the turkey tomato sauce, then add a layer of zucchini slices, spread a thin layer of ricotta over the zucchini, and sprinkle a bit of mozzarella on top.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a light sprinkle of mozzarella and a few basil leaves on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving.
