INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (approx. 24g total)
1 large Whole Egg (50g)
2 large Egg Whites (33g total)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (61g)
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (10g total)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini to create noodles. Set aside.
Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces and crisp in a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden. Remove excess fat if needed.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir in grated Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté minced garlic briefly until fragrant.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and warm them for about 2 minutes, ensuring they remain slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg and yogurt mixture along with the cooked turkey bacon. Gently toss with the zucchini noodles, allowing the mixture to thicken just enough to coat the noodles without scrambling the eggs.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce becomes creamy and slightly thickened. Avoid overcooking to preserve a silky texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary, then serve immediately.
