Zucchini Lasagna

First, I would like to note that we completed a 5k today! I knew I needed to make something that I could pig out on a litttttle, because, well, I was starving the entire day.


Assuming you can get 6 servings out of this, this recipe weighs in at just 206 calories! 
 13 g carbs, 3.6 g fiber, 7.5 g sugar, 22 g protein!


I will tell you, I was actually shocked at how absolutely delicious this turned out. The texture of the zucchini is a lot like regular lasagna noodles, and, well, let's face it... if you can still put cheese on it, we're in good shape! So, I start with ground turkey meat...


I season the meat really well (garlic and basil pretty much does the trick) while I am browning it because I have another confession... this is what I use for my sauce...




(I know, I know, sacrilegious... but I honestly can't make anything from scratch taste better, especially not in 10 minutes... On the plus side, Prego now makes a low sodium option that tastes absolutely delicious, too!)



See? Now we have a wonderful sauce in about ten minutes! The next part is a little more tricky... I did have to specifically go out and buy a mandolin to slice the zucchini lengthwise...




Then, we layer! Sauce, zucchini, sauce, zucchini, cheese... ta da.




Yum! Cover, cook for 20 minutes at 400, the broil uncovered for the last five minutes. Again, this was soooooo good! 



Ingredients:
3 Zucchini
Your favorite pasta sauce
Ground turkey
Italian cheese blend
Spices

Layer, bake at 400 covered for 20 minutes, the broil uncovered for 5 minutes.
