A delicious and healthy twist on traditional lasagna by replacing pasta with zucchini.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini large,
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 cup Bell peppers diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1/4 cup basil for garnish, chopped fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes.
- In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the turkey sauce. Layer zucchini slices on top, followed by another layer of the sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of sauce on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh basil.
- Enjoy!

This recipe is a keeper! Tried it last night and my kids didn’t even notice the lack of noodles! 😂
Too much zucchini, not enough pasta. Just doesn’t feel like real lasagna to me. 🙄
My family loved this! Even my picky son ate it without complaining. Definitely making it again soon!
That’s awesome! My kid is always picky too, maybe I’ll give it a try! Thanks for the tip!
I don’t know how to cook, but I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. I’m still unsure if my oven was broken or what.
This isn’t a real lasagna. Where’s the pasta? I call bologna on this one. 😒
Yum! I added some spinach and it turned out great! Healthy and filling. 😊
Good but could use more cheese! More cheese is always better! Yum!
I totally agree! More cheese makes everything better. I love how it melts! 🧀
Easy to follow and delicious! I added some mushrooms and it was sooo good. My kids finished it all!
Love❤️ this recipe! So healthy and tasty! Will share with my mom!
This was amazing! The zucchini added such a nice twist to the traditional lasagna. My family loved it!
I totally agree! Zucchini is a game-changer in this dish! It’s nice to see some veggies in a classic like lasagna. 😊
I don’t know. Zucchini in lasagna? Seems kinda weird. Aren’t lasagna noodles better? Just saying. 🤔
Wait, how do you cut zucchini in slices? I just chunked them up…
Yum! I never thought ground turkey could taste this good! Definitely making this again.
Lasagna without pasta? Mind blown. I didn’t have turkey so I used beef and I loved it!
So easy to make, but the taste was just okay for me. I think I prefer regular lasagna.
Pretty good, but too much zucchini for my taste. I prefer the pasta version. Will try again with less zucchini.
Lasagna from turkey? R u kidding? Lasagna is only for beef! But tasted fine… maybe try chicken next time?
Zucchini lasagna? Why not just use real pasta? 🙄
I made it without the cheese coz of my lactose problems, and it still was okay.
This lasagna is amazing! I never thought turkey could taste this good. Definitely a keeper.
Totally agree! It’s surprisingly tasty. I just made it last night!
I felt like a chef making this! But I might have added too much salt. Oops!
Sounds delicious! I bet the extra salt just makes it more flavorful. I usually add extra spices to my dishes too, just go with your taste! 😊
I never trust recipes, but this one was legit! Who knew healthy could be delicious??
It’s lasagna, but without the lasagna noodles? Color me confused…
I followed the recipe, but my lasagna was more like soup. Did I do something wrong?
I think it could use more spices… it’s a bit bland for my taste. Maybe some red pepper flakes?
Maybe it just needs more cheese? Cheese always makes everything better!
I totally agree! A little kick would make it so much better. Red pepper flakes sound like a great idea!
Not sure if I’ll make this again. Ground turkey has no flavor. Maybe try beef next time???
It turned out WAY too watery for me. I think I added too many tomatoes. Not sure if I would try again.
Sounds like you had a tough time. Maybe next time try using less tomatoes or draining them first? Lasagna should be thick and hearty!
This lasagna was a hit at my dinner party! Everyone loved it, especially the zucchini instead of pasta. Will definitely make again!
Sounds delicious! I’m always looking for healthier options. Can’t wait to try it!
I didn’t have parmesan, so I used feta. Not the same but still tasty!
This lasagna was fantastic! The zucchini adds such a nice twist. Definitely making this again!
