Description

Imagine a comforting, layered casserole that marries the heartiness of lasagna with the vibrant zest of enchiladas. This dish reimagines the classic Italian comfort food, replacing traditional pasta sheets with a flavorful alternative, creating a satisfying and surprisingly light meal. Each bite delivers a symphony of textures and tastes, a delightful dance on your palate.

The rich, savory meat sauce, simmered to perfection with aromatic spices, intertwines beautifully with the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth cheese blend. The layers create a visually appealing mosaic, a testament to the care and attention put into crafting this exceptional dish. The base of this casserole features a tender, slightly yielding component that perfectly mimics the role of pasta.

These flavorful substitutes are infused with a subtle corn taste, offering a gentle contrast to the robust meat sauce and the tangy enchilada seasoning. The cheese, a blend of different types, creates a gooey, decadent blanket that envelops each layer, contributing both richness and a delightful textural contrast. As you cut through the layers, the aroma of spices fills the air, enticing your senses and preparing you for the culinary experience ahead.

This casserole is incredibly versatile. Serve it hot, straight from the oven, allowing the cheese to stretch invitingly with each serving. Or, let it cool slightly to allow the flavors to meld and deepen even further.

It pairs wonderfully with a simple, refreshing salad, its crispness and acidity cutting through the richness of the casserole. Steamed green vegetables, such as broccoli or asparagus, also make an excellent accompaniment, providing a healthy and colorful addition to the meal. This lasagna-enchilada hybrid is more than just a dish; it's an experience, a celebration of flavor and texture that will leave you feeling satisfied and content.

Its unique flavor profile makes it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, suitable for both casual family dinners and more festive gatherings. Prepare to be amazed by this innovative and delicious twist on two classic comfort foods.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the tops and bottoms from the zucchini and peel the outer skin and discard. Peel the zucchini flesh into long wide strips. Add the zucchini to a plate or bowl and toss with half a teaspoon of salt. Set aside whilst you prepare the turkey.
    2.
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a low/medium heat. Dice the bell peppers and onion and crush the garlic. Add to the pan and cook gently for a minute or two until just tender.
    3.
    Add the ground turkey and cook until browned all over.
    4.
    Dice the tomato and add to the pan along with the tomato puree, stock, dried herbs and spices. Stir well to combine.
    5.
    Bring the mixture to a simmer and continue to cook for 10 minutes until the stock has reduced.
    6.
    Whilst the turkey is cooking, add the cream cheese and almond milk to a pan over a gentle heat. Stir together, heating though until the cream cheese has melted into the milk.
    7.
    Season with a little salt and pepper and stir through half the grated cheddar until melted.
    8.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    9.
    Blot the zucchini using kitchen paper to remove any excess salt or liquid. Divide the turkey mixture into 1/3 and spoon one third into the base of an 8x5 inch oven dish.
    10.
    Arrange 1/3 of the zucchini over the meat base, overlapping the strips.
    11.
    Spoon over 1/3 of the cheese sauce in an even layer.
    12.
    Repeat the process twice more creating two more layers of turkey, zucchini and cheese sauce.
    13.
    Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the top of the lasagna.
    14.
    Transfer to the oven for 30 minutes until hot through and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
