Zucchini Lasagna

So it's been a very long time since I have posted something. Well here it is. I am trying to add more veggies to my diet and have decided to make a Zucchini lasagna(with turkey instead of beef or sausage)


These will be the items you will need. 1 lb turkey, 2 cups grated mozzarella, 1-24oz can spaghetti sauce, a drizzle of olive oil(to cook turkey), 1-16oz container low fat cottage cheese(or ricotta if you prefer), 2 small zucchini, a few mushrooms(I only put them on one layer and half because the roomie doesn't care for them), about a quarter of a large white onion finely chopped, 1 tsp. each of the following salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, thyme, rosemary and  1 bay leaf. In a pan heat olive oil and add onion, bay leaf and cook till onions are translucent. Add turkey and spices. Continue to stir and break meat apart. Set aside and let cool. Take the zucchini and thinly slice(you can use a mandolin if you have one. I chose to do mine in rounds because I don't but if you did you may choose to cut yours lengthwise) set aside. Thinly slice mushrooms. 

 In a glass baking dish(9x13) thinly spread a layer of sauce and begin to layer your zucchini until bottom is completely covered.

 Next, spread half of the cooked turkey meat over the zucchini. For the next layer you will spread an even layer of cottage cheese over entire meat layer.(About half of the container. (pictured below, only half was covered)

 The next step is to spread a layer of mozzarella cheese. I Sprinkled a little parmesan on there as well

 Repeat with a layer of sauce.

 Then another layer of zucchini, meat and cheese. Place in a preheated 375 oven for one hour or until zucchini is tender and sauce is bubbling.

 

Let stand and Enjoy a much healthier version of a home made classic :)
