Macros for serving: 20 carbs /6 fat /44 protein
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic
1 small chopped onion
2 zucchini
1 small eggplant (or substitute for second zucchini)
Olive oil spray
400 grams ground turkey/chicken breast
suggested spices: onion powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, rosemary, basil, etc
2 cups seasoned tomato sauce or passata (I used passata)
1 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 egg white
1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
(passata: a thick sauce made from sieved tomatoes and used especially in Italian cooking.)
You can increase the carbs in this recipe by including no boil lasagna noodles if you prefer a more authentic texture.
*I normally use a small square pan or personal sized disposable baking foil containers.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mince the onion and garlic.
- With a mandolin or potato peeler slice the zucchini and eggplant into thin long slices (like lasagna noodles).
- Sauté the chopped onion and pressed/chopped garlic for about 2 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to your pan and brown. Season with onion powder, oregano, Italian season, basil, rosemary or whatever flavor profile you prefer.
- When the meat is cooked, add 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce/passata to the pan. You will use the remaining ½ cup later.
- In a small container whisk together egg white and cottage cheese.
- Cover the bottom of a small baking dish with the ½ cup of unused tomato sauce.
- Next, use the slices eggplant or zucchini to make a layer.
- Top the vegetables with ground meat.
- Continue layering until you have no more ingredients.
- Cover your layers with the cottage cheese and egg white mixture.
- Top with grated mozzarella.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees F.
