Ground Turkey And Zucchini Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey breast, green pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until turkey is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir marinara sauce and baby spinach into the turkey mixture; cook and stir until marinara sauce is warm through, about 3 minutes.
• Stir zucchini noodles into the sauce with tongs; cook and stir until the zucchini is slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Make zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Place noodles in a colander and cover liberally with 1 tablespoon salt. Let sit until noodles release some moisture, about 20 minutes. Rinse noodles and pat dry.
• Place ground turkey, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until turkey is browned and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Drain grease.
• Push turkey to the sides of the skillet to make an empty space in the center. Add olive oil and minced garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Stir diced tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, parsley, basil, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in noodles. Cover with cottage cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil until cheese is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cook turkey and onions in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat 8 to 10 min. or until turkey is done, stirring frequently. Use slotted spoon to transfer turkey mixture to bowl, reserving drippings in skillet.
• Add mushrooms and tomatoes to reserved drippings; cook 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Add zucchini; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Add cream cheese; cook 2 to 3 min. or until completely melted, stirring constantly.
• Return turkey mixture to skillet; mix well. Stir in pesto sauce; cover. Cook on medium-low heat 8 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan.
