Lasagne - A slightly healthier version

I am currently attempting to eat more healthily than I have done, with a few treats at the weekend. I love my lasagne and have been trying to tweak the recipe to make it more diet friendly. This is the recipe that has worked with Turkey mince and courgettes.

Ingredients - makes 4 portions

1 courgette - sliced thinly lengthways
150g Goats cheese
1 tin good quality tinned tomatoes
400g Turkey mince
Handful of mushrooms
Chicken stock cube dissolved in half a cup of water
2tbsp Tomato purée
1 Garlic clove - crushed and chopped
1 Red onion - finely chopped
1 heaped tsp mixed herbs
1 tsp Hendersons Relish or Worcestershire Sauce

Method

1.   Preheat your oven to 180.
2.   Dry fry onions, garlic and mushrooms in a nonstick pan until soft. Add mince and brown off.
3.   Add stick and purée. Mix well to coat all ingredients with purée.
4.   Add Hendersons relish/ Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Stir well.
5.   Add tomatoes and leave to simmer and reduce for 20 - 30 minutes.
6.   Layer the lasagne by putting mince in first, then sprinkle goats cheese over. Layer the courgette next. Repeat again. Then you should end with a layer of mince and cheese.
7.   Bake in the over for about 25 minutes until the cheese is golden on top and the courgette cooked through.
8.   Serve with a side salad.
