It is necessary
- - turkey fillet - 600 grams;
- - young zucchini - 800 grams;
- - yellow and red tomatoes - 200 grams;
- - garlic - 2 large cloves;
- - fresh parsley - 1 small bunch;
- - bread crumbs - 30 grams;
- - olive oil - 60 milliliters;
- - pepper and salt - according to preference.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to prepare the garlic oil. To do this, the cloves of garlic need to be cleaned of films and chopped - chopped into crumbs or use a garlic press. Pour the olive oil into a small container, add garlic to it and leave for 10-15 minutes to soak the oil.
Step 2
If necessary, defrost the turkey fillet, rinse with water and cut off excess films, fat and tendons. Lay a layer of cling film on the work surface, place fillets on it and cover with a second layer of film. Using a kitchen hammer, beat off the fillet so that its thickness does not exceed half a centimeter. If there is no turkey, then you can use chicken fillet, but it will increase the calorie content of the dish.
Step 3
Wash young zucchini thoroughly, cut off the stem and the tip with the inflorescence, then cut them along the fruit into plates so that the thickness is about half a centimeter. If you are using zucchini not of dairy ripeness, but older ones, then they must be peeled from coarse skins and grated on a coarse grater for uniform heat treatment. Wash the tomatoes, cut the stalk and cut into slices.
Step 4
Brush the selected baking dish with plain olive oil using a silicone kitchen brush. Lay out a layer of zucchini overlapping so that they completely cover the bottom of the mold. Spread them with the same brush, but with prepared garlic oil. Season the courgettes with salt and pepper. If you want a spicier dish, you can add your favorite seasoning or a bunch of herbs. Then lay out the second layer of zucchini and repeat with the oil and seasonings. Put the beaten turkey fillet in the next layer. On top, repeat two layers of zucchini with oil and seasonings. At the end, lay out the chopped tomatoes, season them.
Step 5
Rinse the parsley, dry and cut off the tough stems. Finely chop the greens and mix with the bread crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture over the top layer of the tomato casserole. If desired, you can add finely grated your favorite type of cheese to breadcrumbs and parsley, or use only it and herbs.
Step 6
Cover the prepared casserole dish with foil and seal all edges. Heat the oven to 190 degrees and send the casserole there for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil from the mold and bake for about 20 minutes. The signal that the dish is ready will be the browned top layer.
