no-pasta lasagna

Ingredients:
1 package of ground lean turkey (600)
About three cloves of garlic (15)
1/2 white onion (60)
8 large tomatoes (175)
Basil (3)
Parsley (5)
Three tbsp of EVOO (360)
Brown sugar (15)
Three zucchini (90)
1 cup of spinach (14)
1/2 of a tub of grated romano cheese (210)
1 tub of cottage cheese (320)
1 egg (70)
Salt & pepper

  1. Brown the ground turkey in 1 tbsp of EVOO.
  2. In a separate pan, sautee the onions and garlic with another tbsp of EVOO, then add the diced tomatoes.
  3. Let the tomato mixture simmer for a while, then drain the excess liquid.
  4. Add the chopped parsley, chopped basil, brown sugar, cooked turkey, salt, and pepper to the tomato mixture.  Set this aside — tomato sauce, done!
  5. Beat the egg, and mix it with the cottage cheese and romano.  By the way, don’t tell your friends about the cottage cheese until after they eat the lasagna.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  7. Line a large pan with foil, and spray with cooking spray.
  8. Start layering: thinly sliced zucchini, tomato sauce, cheese.  Again and again.  And salt and pepper that shizz.  End with whatever layer you want, but save some grated romano for later.
  9. Bake it for about 30-40 minutes.  Right before you take it out, sprinkle the last of the cheese.  I like to broil it so the cheese gets toasty.

To be honest: Reechard said it tastes more like ratatouille, Pei wished the zucchini would cut easily with a fork like pasta, and Deanna wouldn’t touch it because she hates zucchini.
