Description
Easy Ground Turkey Zucchini Casserole is a simple and delicious dish that combines ground turkey, zucchini, and cheese in a flavorful marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the sliced zucchini on the bottom. Top with the turkey mixture and then pour the marinara sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese over the marinara layer.
- Add the remaining zucchini slices on top, followed by the remaining marinara sauce and cheeses.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow the casserole to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
