How to Make a Quick & Easy Healthy Pizza Casserole Dish

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative, while grana padano is a more affordable cheese.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Homemade sauce can be fresher and cheaper than store-bought.

Shred the zucchini and sprinkle with salt, letting it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini after 10 minutes, leaving it slightly wet.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 eggs, half a cup of grated parmesan, 2 ounces of mozzarella, and 2 ounces of shredded cheddar. Mix well.

Spray a baking dish with avocado oil cooking spray.

Dump the egg and cheese mixture into the baking dish and press it down flat.

Bake the mixture uncovered in the oven for 20 minutes.

While the base is baking, heat oil in a skillet and cook half a pound of ground turkey until browned.

Chop a third of a cup of onion and add it to the skillet with the cooked turkey.

Add the can of diced tomatoes to the skillet and mix well, cooking until heated through.

Slice half of a bell pepper and prepare olives if using as toppings.

After 20 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and spread the turkey and tomato mixture on top.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bell pepper on top, and add olives if desired.

Return the dish to the oven for another 20 minutes or until heated through and melty.

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into quarters.
