Zucchini Lasagna

So I posted about a week and a half ago on facebook that we had zucchini lasagna for dinner. Well Last night I made the lasagna again and thought I would post how I made it. I looked at a couple of recipes and got the general gist and then as usual made my own thing. I am sure this is really similar to something someone else has done though. The first thing I guess I should say is that I am a big fan of using what you have. The recipes that I looked at had nice slices of zucchini. I do not have a kitchen tool that will do this. So like when I make zucchini noodles I just use a potato peeler, I simply just used a knife. You will see my precision in the pictures to follow.

Need:

Zucchini (I used 4)

Ricotta Cheese (1.5 C)

Turkey Meat (1lb)

Spaghetti Sauce (2 C, which is roughly 1 jar)

Mozzarella Cheese (1C)

Spinach (2C)

Spices (I used garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano)

So the first thing I did was preheat my oven to 375. I then sliced my zucchini and laid them out on paper towels. 

Notice the evenly cut slices of zucchini. I don't claim to be a pinterest mom, I just make tasty food.

Then I put a little salt on them. I got this tip from a fellow beachbody coach when she made her lasagna. https://sites.google.com/site/jbfamilyroomfitness/recipes/zucchinilasagna It helps pull the water out. I let the salt sit while I brown my turkey in a pan. To the turkey I added my spices. After the turkey was browned I took a paper towel to the zucchini and got rid of the excess moisture. I also added a cup of sauce to the turkey.  Then I made a layer of zucchini in the bottom of the pan. I sprinkled some garlic powder on the zucchini. Then I added all the turkey and sauce on the layer of zucchini. 

I then put down another layer of zucchini. (More garlic Powder.) On top of this zucchini I added the Ricotta then the spinach.

Then I put the final layer of zucchini and more garlic powder. (I like garlic.) I then added the second cup of sauce. On top of it all I put on all the mozzarella cheese. 

Then I put it in the oven and baked for 45 minutes. 

When I pulled it out it still had a LOT of liquid. 

So I carefully drained some of the liquid off. I then cut into 4 and then served. Please forgive the abundance of pictures. I am sure you really didn't need a step by step picture book on how I made my lasagna. I got a new phone, and was excited.
