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!

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
Yes I enjoyed the recipe and I will try this weekend
I love Zucchini squash and well be making this easy recipe! Please do share so more clean & delicious low carb dinner ideas!
Dani I subbed today…I’ve watched lots of your videos and saved many with gje intention I need to try that…starting my diet/healthy eating plan tjus coming Monday and getting stuff in ready…went back to find your turkey muffins that I had kept. So glad this has popped up as something perfect and quick fir week nights as you say. Please can you advise on your recipes like this one how many it serves. Im cooking for just 2 of us but dont have room in my freezer to keep storing stuff so will have to adapt accordingly once I know what I’m working with. Please can you advise or state on the recipe going forward.
This recipe will serve between 4-6 people so you can easily cut it in half if you prefer. But it also makes a great leftover that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. It will last in your fridge for up to 5-6 days after you make it. Hope that helps!
+Clean & Delicious Thats brilliant thank you.

Hi Dani, can it be freeze to ??? thanks for sharing and have a nice week end !!!
I have never tried to freeze it BUT I bet it would freeze just fine.
These types of dishes are my favorite to make because they are so easy. Wish my family liked zucchini more. I love zucchini.
I think peppers would also be delicious! Does your family like peppers?
Clean & Delicious Half do and half don’t like peppers. Lol, but I will still use zucchini just not put as much in the dish.
Yum!!! Gonna try this! Throw in some sausage, shrimp, peppers and yellow squash with the zucchini and onions and use a Cajun seasoning…..delish Cajun skillet!
Wow! thats sounds deeeeeelicious!! Enjoy it.
