Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz, undrained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped zucchini, diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or corn for extra flavor and texture.
