Description

Melty strands of mozzarella drape over seasoned turkey and zucchini, bathing each forkful in rich tomato sauce. Fragrant garlic and Italian herbs add a bright pop of flavor to this speedy skillet supper.


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the diced zucchini and cook until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  6. Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the mixture.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheeses are melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped basil before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when adding the garlic.
  • You can substitute ground chicken or beef for the turkey.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a heartier meal.
