Ingredients

    1 pound of 93% lean ground turkey
    1 tsp Olive oil
    salt and pepper
    28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
    4-5 med zucchini
    15 ounces of part skim ricotta
    12 ounces part skim mozzarella cheese
    1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
    1 large egg
    1 cup fresh mushrooms

Directions

In a sauce pan, brown meat & mushrooms with olive oil and season with seasoning you like.

When cooked add crushed tomatoes and salt and pepper. Simmer on low for approx 30 minutes.

Don't add extra water. Sauce should be fairly thick

While that is cooking slice the zucchini (I also used yellow summer squash) into 1/8" thick slices. Add some salt to draw out the moisture. After 10 minutes wipe the excess moisture from the squash. Place the squash on a griddle and cook until tender. After cooking place on a paper towel to soak up any extra moisture.

Preheat oven to 350

In a bowl mix the Ricotta Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, and the egg. Mix well.

In a 9x13 casserole pan spread some of the meat sauce on the bottom, and layer squash to cover. Then spread some of the ricotta mixture, the top with mozzarella cheese and repeat the process until all your ingredients are used up. Top with mozzarella cheese and cover with foil.

Bake 45 minutes covered at 350 then uncovered for 15 more minutes.

Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving!
