Ingredients

1 lb Ground turkey extra lean
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 Tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups Ricotta Cheese low moisture, part skim
1 egg
1/2 cup Parmesan shredded
4 Zucchini Medium-Large , sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices
2 cups Mozzarella shredded, low moisture, part skim
2 cups Marinara sauce
2 cups Kale cut into large pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray the bottom of a baking dish with cooking spray.
In a pan cook ground turkey, 1 tsp salt, garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper until turkey is cooked through, set aside.
In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and remaining salt, stir until well combined, set aside.
Lay a layer of sliced zucchini on bottom of pan. Then lay a layer of kale on top of zucchini.
Next spoon the ground turkey on top of the kale. Then spread the ricotta mixture.
Spoon half the marinara sauce over the ricotta, and sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese on top.
Lay another layer of kale down, then a layer of zucchini slices.
Pour remaining marinara sauce over the zucchini slices and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 45 minutes until cheese is melted and lasagna is bubbling. Allow to cool for 15 min or overnight (it is better the next day after everything 'sets' and then microwaved). Slice into 8 slices and serve.
Note: If you enjoy it right away, there may be a bit of liquid at the bottom of the dish. I simply pour it off, or let it sit and set before serving - this dish makes for great leftovers!

Notes

Because the ricotta, veggies and turkey don't have any seasoning I like to give it flavor with the salt/garlic salt/onion salt, but if you like things with a little less salt, feel free to half or quarter the amount of salts used.
