A delightful zucchini bake with a rich tomato and meat sauce, topped with melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In an oven-safe skillet, cook the ground turkey, sausage, and chopped onion over medium heat until browned.
Break up the meat into small pieces for even cooking.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste as you season to avoid over-salting.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, oregano, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering helps the flavors meld together.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and mix them into the skillet until evenly coated with the sauce.
Ensure the zucchini slices are uniform for even cooking.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the entire surface for a delicious cheesy crust.
Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Check occasionally to prevent over-browning.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
