Ikaria Longevity Zucchini Potato Skillet Pie

4.60 from 5 votes
Tourlou is typically a mixed summer vegetable casserole found all over the Eastern Aegean. The word is Turkish (turlu) and means a hodgepodge. There are many similar casseroles around Greece that go by different names. What I like about this old Ikarian recipe is its utter simplicity. It also reminds me of a similar recipe with pumpkin, not zucchini, also made in a frying pan, which is from neighboring Samos.
