A simple and healthy casserole made with ground turkey and zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
