BAKED ZUCCHINI AND GROUND TURKEY

DH wasn't wild about this when I cooked it, but I liked it.  He's not a veggie eater and just wanted normal spaghetti :)

BAKED ZUCCHINI AND GROUND TURKEY *

INGREDIENTS
3 tbsp. oil
3 lbs. sliced zucchini
1/3 c. chopped onion
1 1/2 pkgs. Italian spaghetti sauce (dry)
1 3/4 c. water
1 tbsp. oil
1 (6 oz.) tomato paste
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/3 c. bread crumbs
1 (8 oz.) pkg. Mozzarella cheese
1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey)

DIRECTIONS
1. Combine first oil, zucchini, and onion and saute until tender. Put in 2 quart casserole dish.

2. Brown the beef. Add one package of sauce, water, tomato paste and 2 tablespoons oil. Heat to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour over zucchini.

3. Mix Parmesan and bread crumbs. Sprinkle over top and mix gently.

4. Top with Mozzarella. Bake to a golden brown at 350 degrees.

Serves 4-6.

(I was concerned Pen wouldn't eat this, so I cooked some spaghetti noodles too...of course he ate it with the noodles instead of the zucchini)
