  • baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 Zucchini
  • 1/2 jar Tomato sauce
  • 8 oz Ground turkey lean
  • 2 tbsp Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Red bell pepper chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC).

Pour the remaining tomato sauce into the turkey mixture and stir to combine. Season with additional salt, if necessary.

  • Top with shredded cheese (optional)
  • Cover the baking dish with a lid or foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
