Taste of Tuesday: Skinny Lasagna

By replacing lasagna pasta with slices of zucchini and using ground turkey instead of beef you can make a guilt-free lasagna that tastes just as great. I made this recipe on Sunday and we loved it.

Ingredients:

1 pack Ground Lean Turkey
1 jar Marinara or Spaghetti Sauce
4 Zucchinis sliced 1/8" thick
Ricotta Cheese
16 oz pack Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella or Four Cheese)
1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
1 Egg
2 tsp olive oil
Pam Spray
4 Garlic cloves (grounded/chopped)
Salt & Pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut zucchini into 1/8" slices and baste with a olive oil and garlic. Bake in oven for about 15 minutes until cooked.

Cook the ground turkey with 1 tsp olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper until fully cooked. Mix marinara sauce into the pan with ground turkey.

Mix egg, ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese in a bowl.

Grease or spray casserole dish with Pam and layer the bottom with some turkey & sauce mixture. Top with slices of zucchini and layer some ricotta mixture over the zucchini. Finally sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over the ricotta mixture. Repeat this process with a layer of sauce, then zucchini, then ricotta mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
