What kind of ground meat works best in zucchini with ground meat and olive oil?

Beef is a common choice for zucchini with ground meat and olive oil, while lamb gives it a richer flavor. Brown the meat before adding the zucchini so it develops flavor and does not simply boil in the cooking liquid.

Zucchini with ground meat and olive oil is a Turkish home-style stew, made by simmering zucchini with minced meat and olive oil. Many household versions also include onion and tomato, with the zucchini softening in the savoury cooking juices.

The zucchini gives it a tender, moist texture and keeps the dish vegetable-forward, while the meat contributes protein; it provides 5.8 g of protein per 100 g.
