Lasagna for Under 200 kcal!

nyiballs

That's right... I came across this recipe and couldn't believe it until I made it. It makes a massive amount of food to the point where the entire tray is barely over 400 kcal

Peel two green zucchini and discard the skin... Using he peeler, continue to peel the rest of the zucchini into strips.

Place a layer of zucchini in a glass pan or a bread pan.
For the next layer, use some skim milk ricotta or fat free ricotta cheese.
Another zucchini layer
Layer some fresh or frozen chopped spinach leaves
Another zucchini layer
Browned 99% fat free ground turkey
Another zucchini layer.
Add more of the same layers as needed to reach the top of your pan and/or finish the zucchini
Top with some tomato sauce and bake at 350 for about 45 mins.

Unreal! Zucchini will taste just like noodles and the whole dish is insanely healthy and yummy.

You can't call it lasagne, as that is the name of the noodles used.

Fauxsagne works though.

I still eat "real" lasagna, but this sounds pretty good, minus the sauce. :-)

oregonzoo

I call mine not-sagna.

This sounds awesome!! I am definitely going to try it out. What size pan do you use? Also if you don't mind sharing...where did you find the receipe? Oh! And how much ground turkey?

I had this once as a skillet dish. It's more like an eggplant parmesan.

I'm glad you wrote it....I was just about to....

HOWEVER, the layered zucchini dish that they posted sounds really good.

But, if I want lasagna, I will make it with noodles and meat and sauce, etc, ad nauseam. Now I want lasagna (snaps fingers and whispers "damn.")

Agreed. It's as if I posted a mashed cauliflower recipe and called it mashed potatoes!

I am in between wanting to :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: or just


But I guess, we all need to do what we need to do, in order to stay motivated right? :laugh:
I used to make a zucchini and summer squash casserole that was really good. I need to see if I can find that again.

i usually like to eat "the real thing" instead of alternatives to dishes but i've done this before with eggplant and zucchini and it was seriously delicious. i prefer it over "regular" lasagna because i can add more cheese and sauce since there's no pasta. i panfried the veggies beforehand though to speed up the cooking. agreed this isn't really "lasagna" but i guess it gets that name just by the way it's assembled.

CuteMonkeyGal

Yum! Will have to try this recipe out this summer.
