Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C).

Slice the zucchini into thin, long planks. Lightly brush with a tiny amount of olive oil and bake on a parchment-lined tray for 15 minutes until pliable.

In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground turkey until deep golden brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with a generous pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper.

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until just wilted and bright green. Fold in the cooked turkey, ensuring the spices are well distributed.

In a small baking dish, layer the roasted zucchini planks followed by the seasoned turkey-spinach mixture. Repeat layers ending with zucchini on top.

Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is lightly charred. The dish should smell warm with the aroma of cinnamon and toasted turkey.

Serve immediately, perhaps with a squeeze of fresh lemon to brighten the earthy profile.
