Default (Low Carb) Zucchini Lasagna

Okay....I made this the other day and it's pretty tasty. I didn't use a recipe, so I figured I'd post it in here before I forgot it.

3 Zucchini, sliced long-ways, boiled (but not over-boiled, or they fall apart)
1 container ricotta cheese
Ground Turkey
Ground Sausage (I mixed it with the turkey)
2 cans tomato paste
2 cans tomato sauce
basil
Italian seasonings
mozzarella cheese

Boiled the zuch until just pliable. While that's going, brown your meats, drain your fats. Add the tomatoes and spices to the browned meat. Make sure to get the excess liquid from the zuch or the lasagna will be a tad soupy (learned that from the first time I made it). I used a 9x9 square pan, sprayed with pam to prevent sticking, then put in some of the meat sauce, then layered in the zuch's, just like you would noodles, then meat, one nice thick layer of ricotta (I <3 ricotta cheese) followed by another layer of zuch noodles, and so on. Top with mozzarella cheese, and bake.

I think it took about 45 minutes to an hour....I didn't really pay attention - baked it at 350*. You really can't tell there's no noodles in it.

If it were up to me I probably would have added some black olives and mushrooms too, but Dixie isn't a fan. I bet it would be tasty though.
