[mekongtours]

You can of course use ground turkey if you want,and not use the turkey bacon, but this is designed to be low carb and protein packed.

No-Pasta Lasagna (P1)
Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients:
1 lb. turkey bacon, chopped
2 1bs. Lean hamburger meat
2 C. mushrooms sliced
4 C. Low-sugar tomato sauce
3 lbs. zucchini or peeled eggplant, sliced thin, lengthwise
2 c. low-fat/part-skim ricotta
1/2 C. chopped basil
4 C.+ low fat mozzarella shreds or thin slices
1 C. low fat Parmesan, fresh grated
salt/pepper
1 C. onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
dry oregano and thyme to taste

How to Prepare:
Use the dry herbs to season the sauce. Sauté the onions until golden. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook 5 minutes on medium heat. Add to sauce. Use same sauté pan to brown the meats, and drain well. Grease a 9� x 13� baking pan. Arrange a layer of eggplant or zucchini in the bottom of the pan, laying the pieces side by side closely, as though
they were lasagna noodles. Next, add a layer of the ricotta, and sprinkle on basil. Next, add a layer of the cooked meats, mushrooms, a layer of sauce, a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until everything is gone. Make the top layer cheese. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, uncover and bake until brown, about 10 minutes.

Interesting ad bot. Nice recipe though.

Made this before. To get a decent texture from the zucchini/eggplant you want to bake them a little in the oven. Make them crisp-ish. Salt the eggplant to draw out moisture. To do this, lay all pieces on a sheetpan and salt both front and back. Let it stand for about 15 minutes.

Bake both zucchini & Eggplant until crisp.
