Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 large zucchini (ends trimmed and cut 1/8-inch thick)
  • Salt
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • ½ cup sweet onion (finely diced)
  • 3/4 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 ½ cups Marinara sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 1 cup ricotta (full-fat)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasonings
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. Pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Using a mandoline, cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/8 inch thick slices. (You can also use a knife, just be careful!) You should have about 24 slices.
  • Lay zucchini flat and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for at least 15 minutes. Before rolling, dab zucchini with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture. (See note for an even less soggy way!)
  • In a large skillet over medium heat combine oil, crushed garlic, and onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until completely cooked through.
  • Pour 1 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl combine 1 cup mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. Mix until combined.  Add ground turkey mixture and stir until combined.
  • Place 1 ½ tablespoons of the turkey and cheese mixture along a zucchini slice. Roll zucchini slice up and place in a 9-inch square baking dish. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture and zucchini slices.
  • Pour remaining ½ cup marinara sauce over the roll-ups and top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve with fresh parsley and enjoy!  Serving size is 4 zucchini roll-ups.
