Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Layer half of the sliced zucchini in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the turkey mixture and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To prevent a watery casserole, drain excess liquid from the diced tomatoes.
