  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
