Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Lay them out flat onto a cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake them for 10 to 15 minutes, or until just lightly beginning to brown, to get all the moisture out. Set aside.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the ground turkey, onion, garlic, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook until the onion is soft and the turkey is browned.
- While the turkey cooks, beat together the ricotta cheese, egg, and another pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
- Turn the oven up to 375℉.
- Once the turkey is done, it's time to assemble the lasagna!
- Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Start by pouring half the jar of pizza sauce on the bottom, followed by layers of half the turkey mince, half the zucchini noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the pepperoni slices, and finish with half the grated mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers once more, and garnish the top layer with the bell pepper and olives. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover with tinfoil, then bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Turn the broiler up to high and broil for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
