Sweet Potato and Zucchini Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium zucchinis (diced)
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ½ cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 cup tomato sauce or any other sauce of your preference
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (sliced)
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, garnish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes. Set aside.

In the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent.

Add the ground turkey and cook until the meat is not pink anymore. Make sure to break apart the meat with a spoon as it cooks.

Add homemade tomato sauce, the cooked zucchini, salt, and pepper. Cook for more 3-5 minutes.

In a greased baking casserole, place the slices of sweet potato in an even layer. Pour the ground turkey mixture into a baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Before serving sprinkle some fresh parsley.
