Zucchini Stuffed Lasagna

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 40 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Marinara
  • 6 Whole Wheat Lasagna Noodles
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 pound Ground turkey breast, browned
  • 1 1/2 cups part skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Brown turkey breast until cooked through. Add either jarred marinara or use my homemade easy fresh tomato basil marinara. Allow the sauce to simmer about 15 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, boil the lasagna noodles until slightly under cooked. You don't want the noodles cooked completely as they will finish cooking in the oven.
  • Shred the zucchini on the large side of a box grater. Place the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze as much of the liquid out as possible.
  • In an 8x8 dish put down enough sauce just to cover the bottom, add noodles (you may cut to fit and cover the bottom), then add another layer of sauce, 1/3 of the shredded zucchini, 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella and a light layer of the Parmesan. Repeat these layers two more times ending with the rest of the cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Notes

You may use no-boil lasagna noodles for this recipe.  Although jarred sauce is fine, I do highly recommend my easy fresh tomato basil marinara sauce recipe.
