Calories: 310kcal
Ingredients
- 6-8 cups zucchini cubed
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups Rao's marinara sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella, havarti, provolone or white cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh basil thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Preheat large non-stick skillet on high heat and swirl oil to coat. Add zucchini, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and allowing to brown. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Return skillet to the stove and add ground turkey. Cook for 5 minutes, constantly breaking into small pieces and stirring.
- Add marinara sauce. Stir, bring to a boil and let it simmer for 3 minutes on low heat.
- Add previously cooked zucchini and stir again. Sprinkle with cheese and place under the broiler for 3 minutes (if your skillet allows) or just cover with a lid and let cheese melt.
- Serve on its own for a low carb meal or over spaghetti for a full meal.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate covered for up to 3 – 4 days. Do not freeze.
- To reheat: Simmer on low heat in a skillet for 5 minutes covered. If you use non-stick skillet you should not need any water or oil to reheat the dish as again zucchini will release water.
