Creating Savory Ground Turkey Zucchini Casserole is a breeze when you follow these steps:

4. Season Meat: Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure seasonings are evenly distributed.
5. Add Zucchini and Tomatoes: Fold in the sliced zucchini and diced tomatoes, allowing them to cook for an additional 5 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften.
6. Layer Casserole: Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the turkey mix.
8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
9. Garnish and Rest: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
