Zucchini Moussaka image

I found this recipe in a cookbook I picked up at a thrift shop for ten cents. It's called "Food Writers Favorites-Quick & Easy Entrees." I made a few small changes and it came out great, plus it was a cinch to make. Next time I'll try it with ground turkey or chicken instead of the lamb, which was harder to find, more expensive, and definitely higher in fat.

I love serving this moussaka with a dollop of yogurt and a side of pita bread. It's the perfect comfort food!

This recipe is a great base, but I like to add a few extra spices to give it a bit more flavor. Paprika, cumin, and oregano are my favorites.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my moussaka turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't use enough sauce?

This recipe was a disaster! The zucchini was mushy and the whole dish was just a mess.
