Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil 2 minutes until softened.
- Add ground turkey and cook 5–6 minutes until browned, breaking it up evenly.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper; simmer 3–4 minutes.
- Layer half of zucchini slices in the dish, top with half the turkey mixture and half the mozzarella. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
- Bake uncovered 30–35 minutes until bubbly and cheese is golden. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Add fresh basil or parsley as garnish for extra flavor.
- Ground chicken or lean beef can substitute turkey.
- Use low-sodium tomatoes for less salt.
- Replace mozzarella with vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.
