I'm always looking for low-carb dinner ideas.  Here is a delicious and very versatile dinner idea, zucchini lasagna.  This recipe can be prepared with sliced zucchini in place of the noodles, cooked lasagna noodles or a combination of both.  The dish below had about 2 layers with zucchini and one layer with noodles.  Give it a try.  It was a hit with my whole family!

Recipe:

1lb. ground turkey (or beef)
1 jar of Ragu vegetable spaghetti sauce
1/2 onion
2 med. zucchini
4 lasagna noodles
1 tsp minced garlic
seasoned salt
pepper
oregano
basil
Sazon seasoning
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup shaved parmesan cheese
1 pkg mozzarella cheese

1.  Brown meat and drain. Add sauce, minced garlic, chopped onion and seasonings to taste. Set aside.

2.  In a small bowl mix yogurt, parmesan cheese and a couple dashes of Sazon seasoning, to taste. Set aside.

3. Slice zucchini long ways and set aside.  If using lasagna noodles, cook according to package, rinse in cold water, then set aside.

4. In a 9x13 pan, layer the meat sauce, zucchini/noodles, dollops of the yogurt cheese mix, mozzarella cheese and then repeat until all ingredients are gone.

Bake for 350 degrees; 45 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered. 

Enjoy!!!
