Clean Zucchini Lasagna

We make this meal once every couple weeks. I take the leftovers and cut them into small pieces, wrap them in seran wrap and freeze them. I use them for my lunch the next week paired with a salad:-) Its quick and easy!!


-1lb turkey ground meat
-24 oz low fat cottage cheese
-1 jar no sugar added spaghetti sauce
 (choose one with the fewest ingredients)
-4 small zucchini
-1egg
-1 medium minced onion
-1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp parsley
Dash of sea salt & pepper to taste

Directions
1.Slice zucchini length wise in 1/4 inch thick slices. Set aside.

2.Brown ground meat in a frying pan. Add minced onion, garlic, parsley and a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Add spaghetti sauce to pan. Mix. Set aside.

3.In a medium mixing bowl combine cottage cheese, egg, and mozzarella cheese.

4. In a 9 by 13 baking dish speed a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Layer zucchini to cover sauce. Add a layer of the cheese mixture next, then another layer of sauce. Repeat one more time ending with sauce on the top layer. Sprinkle left over mozzarella cheese in too.

5. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 mins. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let set 10 mins.

Enjoy!!!!
