Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
- Trim off the ends of the zucchini. With a mandolin or vegetable peeler, cut the zucchini into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Arrange half of the slices on a large, paper towel-lined baking sheet in an even layer; you'll have some overlap, but try not to have too much. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Place a second layer of paper towels on top. Arrange the second half of the zucchini slices on top of the paper towel the same way. Sprinkle with1/4 teaspoon salt. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the lasagna.
- In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the turkey, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, red pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking apart the meat, until the turkey is completely cooked through.
- Add the garlic and sauté just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the ricotta, 1/3 cup of the mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
- Spread a thin layer of the pasta sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Assemble the ravioli: With fresh paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, blot the top of the zucchini dry (by this point, the salt should have drawn out water). Working 4 strips of zucchini at a time, arrange the first 2 to make an “X”. Use the second 2 to make a “+” that overlaps the "X" crosswise, so that the 4 strips create a star.
- Mound 3 generous tablespoons filling onto the center. Bring two opposite ends of the zucchini together, laying them over the filling. Repeat with the remaining strips to create a packet.
- Place the packet in the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining zucchini and filling, arranging the packets in a single layer in the baking dish.
- Spoon the remaining pasta sauce over the top of the zucchini. Sprinkle with the remaining 2/3 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until warmed through. Sprinkle with basil and enjoy hot.
