Low Carb Lasagna

Zucchini: 2 Medium-Large

Kale: 1 bunch kale (I like to use Russian Hunger kale because it is a flat leaf)

Marinara sauce: 1 Cup (250 ml)

Mozzarella Cheese: 1 Cup (100 g), shredded, low moisture, part skim

Ricotta Cheese: 1 Cup (250 g), low moisture, part skim

Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 Cup (50 g), shredded

1 egg

Turkey: 1 lb (500 g) ground, extra lean

Garlic: 2 cloves

Onion: 1/2 white onion

Oregano: 2-3 stems

Salt: 1 pinch

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
2. Oil the bottom and sides of a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
3. In a pan cook ground turkey, garlic, onion until turkey is cooked through, set aside.
4. In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and salt, stir until well combined, set aside.
5. Lay a layer of zucchini sliced 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick on bottom of pan. Then lay a layer of kale on top of zucchini.
6. Next spoon all the ground turkey on top of the kale. Then spread all the ricotta mixture on top.
7. Spoon half the marinara sauce over the ricotta and sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese on top.
8. Lay another layer of kale down, then a layer of zucchini slices.
9. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the zucchini slices and sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
10. Bake for 45 minutes until cheese is melted and lasagna is bubbling. Allow to cool for 15 minutes or overnight.
11. Slice into 6 servings and serve or refrigerate overnight.

Notes

Because the zucchini is 95% water, there will be some extra liquid at the bottom of the pan if you serve immediately. Much of it will be reabsorbed if you refrigerate overnight. Either way, it is delicious.
