Delicious layers of breaded zucchini, sauce, turkey sausage and cheese.
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 large eggs
3 tsps olive oil
3 cups spaghetti sauce
12 oz italian turkey sausage
4 medium zucchini
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup skim milk
1. Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C). Cut zucchini in half and then cut about four thin slices the long way on each half.
2. In a shallow bowl beat the eggs with a whisk and add in the milk. Pour bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip zucchini in egg mixture then dip to cover both sides with bread crumbs.
3. In a non-stick skillet fry zucchini in oil on both sides until nicely browned. (You will have to do more than one batch using new oil each time.) Meanwhile in another skillet cook sausage.
4. When sausage is cooked through, thinly slice.
5. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking sheet and layer one zucchini, a tablespoon of sauce, sprinkle of cheese, and a thin layer of sausage and repeat making a total of eight stacks. Usually 3-4 zucchini per stack.
6. Bake in oven for about 10 minutes and enjoy!
