TURKEY ZUCCHINI SKILLET RECIPE
1 pound ground turkey
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 small-medium zucchini, cut into quarters then chopped
2-15 ounce cans of diced tomatoes
1 heaping tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (*optional toppings)

DIRECTIONS:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add oil. Once the olive oil is hot, stir in your onions and garlic along with a pinch of salt. Let them cook for a couple minutes or so or until your onions are fragrant and beginning to look translucent.

Push all the veggies to one side of the pan and then using a wooden or rubber spatula, stir in your ground turkey. Season the turkey with some salt and pepper be sure to break it up into small pieces.
Once the turkey has lost it's pink color, begin to combine the ground turkey with the onions and garlic.

Add in zucchini, oregano, a little more salt and pepper, and tomatoes. Give it a good mix and allow everything to simmer for 15-30 minutes depending on how soft you like your zucchini.

Serve over a bed of spaghetti squash (or pasta, rice, cauliflower rice, etc) and top with some red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

    If you are a vegetarian replace the meat with scrambled eggs !! Don’t do it omelet style tho ! Just your something to make it like small bits of eggs.... you know what I mean ?? They taste just as amazing. Maybe even better !!! If you are a vegan, just add some firm tofu or Tempe!!! Just as delicious and healthy 😌💙❤️🔥
  • Hello my friends! We are two weeks away from back-to-school and I am starting to think about organizing some easy healthy dinner ideas and this was the first to pop into my mind! It's an oldie-but a goodie and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! xo - Dani
  • LOVE this recipe! So much fun to make and a big hit with family and guests. Very colorful. I switch it out with beef from the Texas panhandle too. I dearly hope this isn't depressing to anyone but I make this weekly for my husband who's going through radiation for prostate cancer. 'No sugar, no carbs, no caffeine'. That's our motto right now.
