INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 medium Carrot
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by spiralizing the zucchini to create noodles. Place the zucchini noodles in a colander, light sprinkle of salt, and let them sit while you prepare the sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, and grated carrot. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the vegetables soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, which should take about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and add chopped fresh basil. Simmer the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, lightly sauté or steam the zucchini noodles for 1-2 minutes until just tender but still retaining a nice crunch.
Plate the zucchini noodles and top with the turkey bolognese sauce. Garnish with a few extra basil leaves if desired before serving.
