Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchinis diced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. If using, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve warm.
