Zucchini Ribbon Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Prepare the ground turkey by mixing well with the oregano, onion powder, crushed red pepper, thyme, sweet basil and salt. Let it rest for a while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Boil water to blanch the Roma tomatoes to make removing the skin easy. Once skinned quarter the tomatoes then put them into a blender to puree. This should make about 2 cups of tomato puree.
  • Finely chop or shred the carrot. The carrot will counter the acidity in the tomato. Small dice the baby portabello mushrooms.
  • Heat up a 10" skillet and crumble the turkey meat into it to brown. Toss and separate the meat so you have a nice small crumble of meat and it is just browning.
  • Pour in the tomato puree into the turkey meat and stir well. Add the carrots, mushrooms, wine and Parmasean/Romano cheese. The cheese will act to thicken the sauce a bit. Let the meat sauce simmer on high until most of the liquid is reduced. About 30 minutes.
  • Blend the eggs, ricotta, mozarella cheese. Finely chop the cilantro and fold into the cheese mixture.
  • Using a mandolin cut the three zucchini into long 1/8" ribbons. One stack of zucchini ribbons will be used for each layer.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a 13x9 glass pan, you will assemble 3 layers repeated 3 times. See Photo
  • Layer 1 = meat sauce, Layer 2 = zucchini ribbons, Layer 3 = cheese mixture See Photo
  • Cover with foil. Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes. See Photo
  • Remove the foil, and cover with additional mozzarella.
  • Bake uncovered for 10 minutes more, or until the cheese has melted. See Photo
  • Let stand at least 10 minutes before serving

Fresh from the oven. Needs to set for a bit. I also found I needed to siphon off a bit of liquid. Its remarkable how much liquid came from the zuchini.   Close
