Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
• In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks for 5-6 minutes until browned.
• Stir in drained diced tomatoes, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
• Layer half of the sliced zucchini in the baking dish, followed by half the turkey mixture and half the shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat layering with the remaining zucchini, turkey mixture, then top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
• Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
