Zucchini Lasagna Roll Ups

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Step 2

For filling: Pour 1 ½ tablespoons oil into a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add sausage and ground turkey and brown for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking up into small piece with a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Strain meat from skillet and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

Drain grease from skillet and place back over medium-high heat. Add remaining oil and sauté onion for 3 to 4 minute. Add garlic and herbs and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer mixture to bowl with the meat and allow mixture to cool, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Add remaining filling ingredients into the mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper and stir together until fully combined. (if mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up)

Step 7

Using a potato peeler, peel thin, long strips from each zucchini, lengthwise.

Step 8

Spread zucchini strips onto a baking sheet in a single layer and season with tablespoon of salt. Allow zucchini to sit for 20 minutes. Lightly pat zucchini dry.

Step 9

To assemble: Pour and evenly spread 2 cups marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9”X12” baking dish. Stir ½ cup marinara sauce into the filling mixture.

Step 10

Spread about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture evenly over the top of one of the sliced zucchini sheets and tightly roll the zucchini into a tightly coil. Place filled and rolled zucchini into the baking dish, coil side up.

Step 11

Repeat step 9 until all of the zucchini strips and filling have been used and the baking dish is filled.

Step 12

Top dish with the remaining marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan and bake for about 20 minutes or until the dish is bubbling and the top has lightly browned. (Place entire dish under broiler for 1 minute if a crispier top is desired)

Step 13

Top dish with another sprinkle of grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves and serve.
