Turkey & courgette lasagnha

Serves 6 persons

Ingredients :

2 courgettes

1 onion

4 cloves garlic

1 carrot

1 tsp oregano

2 bay leaves

500g turkey breast mince

1/2glass white wine

100ml olive oil

1 small tin chopped tomatoes

50g flour

1ltr low fat milk

Salt & pepper to taste

Method :

Saute off the chopped onion & garlic in 50ml of the olive oil until transparent.

Add the grated carrot & cook for 2 minutes.

Add the turkey & stir as it cooks to break it up. Bring to a simmer & keep stirring until all the meat has broken up.

Add the bay leaves, oregano, chopped tomatoes & the wine. Simmer for 1 hour.

For the white sauce Add the flour to the other 50ml of the olive oil in a pot & cook until it gets a sandy texture. Add the milk a little at a time (always stirring).

Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

To assemble take out a lasagnha dish and start with a layer of meat, then finely cut courgette strips. A layer of white sauce, then more courgette. Continue this until the dish is full.

For the last layer top with the last of the white sauce mixed with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Bake in a hot oven at 200C for 30 minutes until bubbling & gratinated.

Serve with a really crispy green salad.

Note

This dish can be even better if you grill the courgettes first which will add a smoky flavour.

Tell the kids the courgette is green pasta.
