- Frypan
Ingredients
- 1 lb 93/7 ground turkey
- ½ white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Red pepper flake, to taste
- 2 cups tomato basil marina
- 8 cups zucchini noodles spiralize zucchini or purchase zucchini noodles
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 ½ tsp avocado oil

Instructions
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, cook the chopped onion until translucent and then add the garlic. Once the garlic becomes aromatic, add the ground turkey and mix the onion and garlic within the ground turkey. Cook the meat mixture until all of the pink in the meat is gone. Add red pepper flake if you prefer to spice this dish up (I love it that way) and add the marinara sauce. Bring the meat sauce to a simmer.
- Coat a frypan with avocado oil over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and mushrooms, sauté covered for about 5-7 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Add the zucchini and mushroom to the meat sauce and mix together. Let the flavors combine for 1-2 minutes and then serve.
