Harvest Meal - Turkey, Turmeric, Zucchini Lasagne

This one, believe it or not, does not have an actual recipe!! Which is totally out of my comfort zone!! So fair warning all information is a guesstimate. I've cooked this so many times I personally just 'know' what's up...

 

I originally had this in Edmonton at my Sister-In-Laws house one night. She is now pretty much vegan and zero sugar, but at the time didn't eat Red Meat and... maybe a couple of other things, but I don't know 100%... She also was combing a couple of different recipes as she was making it as well, so it's kind of a mix N' Match. But being lasagne it's pretty basic.

Turkey, Turmeric, Zucchini Lasagne

Prep Time : No clue, maybe half hour?? Bake Time : 45 Minutes - 1 Hour

  2. Once Turkey starts to turn white add Garlic and Onions. 
  3. Once Garlic becomes fragrant, onions turn translucent and Turkey is no longer pink. Sprinkle Turmeric & Oregano seasoning to cover. Stir the mixture and add more turmeric, and stir again. Add Salt & Pepper to taste. 
  4. Add Diced Tomatoes, and Tomato Paste. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Take Your pan and layer the following, until full, then top with mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese:

    • Mozzarella
    • Zucchini
  • Once ready and the pan is full of layers, cover with tin foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Like I said! This recipe has no recipe, so play around and add whatever you'd like. I'm sure it could add more spices, but we like it just the way it is!

Enjoy!
