Steps:
- 1. Cook hamburger in a skillet, breaking it up nice and fine. Hint: I buy in bulk when I can. Cook and freeze 1 pound packages of hamburger for speedy cooking after work.
- 2. Cook the sliced mushrooms in the hamburger pan until they are starting to brown. Reserve. Hint: I also cook mushrooms in advance and freeze them for quick meals.
- 3. Slice zucchini lengthwise in long strips about 1/4" thick. Use a slicer but watch your fingers!
- 4. Place zucchini on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in a 375-degree oven. Bake until the surface is dry. About 15 minutes.
- 5. Transfer zucchini to clean kitchen towel to soak up additional moisture.
- 6. In an 11x7 glass baking dish pour a bit of spaghetti sauce on the bottom. Add the rest of the sauce to the cooked hamburger.
- 7. Drain the stewed tomatoes. Then add to the hamburger mixture. Save the juice for another use or give it to the chickens... they love it!
- 8. Drain the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer. You might have to press it a bit.
- 9. Transfer to a bowl and add the two egg yolks.
- 10. Mix this up and add the cooked mushrooms and the red pepper flakes. You can use a little or a lot. I chose not to add salt but did pepper the mixture well. We like pepper!
- 11. On top of the sauce in the dish lay a layer of baked zucchini.
- 12. Then layer with meat mixture.
- 13. Then add a layer of cottage cheese mixture and then a layer of shredded Mozzarella.
- 14. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients. End with the mozzarella. (It doesn't really matter how many layers you make.)
- 15. Bake the lasagna at 350 until it is bubbly and the kitchen smells divine; about 40 minutes.
- 16. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes or so to reabsorb the moisture.
- 17. Cut in wedges and serve with fresh Parmesan on top.
ZUCCHINI LASAGNA (LASAGNE) - LOW CARB
Great for anyone going low carb OR who has so many zucchini, they don't know what to do!! :) We found the sauce to be very mild. I think it would be better with twice as much garlic. I boiled my zucchini slices for about 3 minutes so they were partially cooked. I wanted to make sure they were soft in the finished dish or I knew the kids wouldn't eat them. ;) The cottage cheese provides a slightly tangy note. I think we would have preferred ricotta, but that is personal taste. I use my 11x7 baking dish and got 6 pieces the size of what you see in my photos. Both of the guys ate two so it fed 4 of us, and I double the meat. Adjust the recipe accordingly for your family.

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place sliced zucchini on large baking sheet coated with non stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes to help dry out the zucchini a bit. This is a critical step.
- While the zucchini noodles are roasting, you can make the turkey meat sauce. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add garlic, onions, and peppers and cook a few minutes until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant; stir occasionally so that you don't burn it.
- Add in ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Add in tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, parsley, and a few dashes of red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer UNCOVERED 25 to 30 minutes or until sauce REALLY thickens up! (If it needs to be thicker, I suggest adding in another tablespoon or two of tomato paste.) Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine egg white, ricotta, and Parmesan. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Add in 1/2 cup of the slightly cooled meat sauce and stir to combine and set aside.
