To make the meat sauce, brown the ground turkey on medium heat until slightly pink. Add the onions, garlic, and salt and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh basil and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce and developed a beautiful red color. Set aside the sauce.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
To make the ricotta cheese layer, mix the ricotta cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, egg, and black pepper until well mixed together. Set aside the mixture.
To assemble the zucchini lasagna, spread the 1/2 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 dish, then top with a layer of the zucchini slices, then spread 1/2 cup of the ricotta mixture slowly, and finally top with about 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until mozzarella is your last layer.
Cover lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then take out the cover and bake for another 15 minutes. Broil for an additional 5 minutes until the mozzarella cheese on the top is beautifully golden brown.
Take lasagna out of oven and let sit for about 10 minutes before enjoying!
