Cut the ends off of the zucchini, and cut in half, lengthwise.

Step 2

Using a vegetable peeler, peel long strips of zucchini (these will be your “noodles”) and set on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.

Step 3

Dab zucchini strips with a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture.

Step 4

In a large pot, add olive oil, onions, and garlic. Cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add ground turkey, and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the turkey has browned slightly.

Step 6

Pour in crushed tomatoes, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and a bay leaf. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).

Step 8

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 9

Using a baking dish, layer turkey sauce, zucchini strips, ricotta mixture, and parmesan. Repeat until there are 3 layers total, ending with the turkey sauce and topping that with parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Bake for 50 minutes (times and temperatures may vary depending on the oven).
