Ingredients
1 sprays cooking spray
8 potato(es), peeled and quartered
5 tsp olive oil, divided
1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup onion(s), chopped
12 oz uncooked ground turkey breast
2 cup zucchini, or yellow summer squash, sliced
14 1/2 oz tomatoes, chunky pasta-style, undrained
6 oz tomato paste
1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat an 8 1/2 X 11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and fill with just enough water to cover potatoes. Boil until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and place back in pot. Add 2 teaspoons of oil, milk, 1/4 cup of cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until fluffy; set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining tablespoon of oil and heat until it shimmers. Add onion and turkey, and cook until meat is no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes; drain off any fat. Stir in squash, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper; bring to a boil.

  4. Spoon turkey mixture into baking dish. Spread potato mixture on top of turkey mixture, covering it completely. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake until potato mixture is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.
