Recipe Swap Tuesday ~ Cheesy Zucchini

I've never been a huge fan of lasagna, but I stumbled upon this easy recipe for a healthier version and tweaked it a bit and ended up loving it.



Now, I'm not a fan of jar sauce and make a homemade pot of sauce almost every week. However, for a quick and easy recipe I decided to use jar sauce as I wasn't going to make a whole pot of sauce just for this recipe, and it worked great.

Ingredients

2 large squash/zucchini, chopped
Extra lean ground turkey
1 jar of sauce
1 bag of shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese









Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Heat ground turkey on the stove top until fully cooked
Chop zucchini
Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray
Put a layer of the zucchini down in the dish, then pour the ground turkey on top, add the sauce and another layer of zucchini. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake at 350 for about 1/2 an hour

  3. I don't like lasagna either. But I really don't like ground hamburger with my pasta sauce, so therefore I don't like meaty sauce on spaghetti or meatballs in spaghetti. I'm weird like that. ;)

    I've done "lasagna" with eggplant and love how it came out. I also used ricotta.

  6. I make my own sauce too but sometimes use a jar for dishes like this if I don't have any in the freezer that I can thaw.

    I'm not big on lasagna either but this looks good!
