Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 zucchini (depending on size)
  • 1 lb ground turkey breast
  • 1 jar (24oz) marinara or pasta sauce I used Rao's Homemade Tomato Basil Sauce
  • optional mix ins/toppings: green pepper, onions, mushrooms, garlic, parmesan cheese, etc

Instructions
 

  • Prepare zucchini with spiralizer into “zucchini noodles” onto kitchen towel.
  • Sprinkle salt onto “noodles”. This helps bring excess water out of the zucchini. Cover with kitchen towel and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat a skillet to medium heat.  Lightly spray with olive oil.  Add ground turkey.  Break up turkey using a spatula.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  If you are adding additional chopped veggies (mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, garlic, etc.) add at this time.  Cook turkey until no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.  Stir and break up turkey every few minutes. 
  • Add jar of marinara sauce to ground turkey.  Stir.  Turn to medium-low and let simmer.
  • Heat a separate skillet to medium heat.  Lightly spray with olive oil, add the zucchini noodles and heat for 3-5 minutes, or until just warmed through. Remove and serve with meat sauce.
  • Top with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.
