Turkey Marinara over Zucchini Noodles
Use zucchini noodles instead of pasta for a low-cal, low-carb turkey marinara pasta dish. With only five ingredients and about 15 minutes of prep time, this is a fast, healthy and easy meal you can make any night of the week.
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time15 minutes mins
Total Time25 minutes mins
Servings: 4
- 2-3 medium zucchini
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 cup baby spinach chopped
- 1 - 2 cups pasta sauce organic, no sugar added
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- salt + pepper
- crushed red pepper and fresh oregano optional
Make noodles out of the zucchini using a spiralizer, divide into four bowls.
Cook turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until brown and fully cooked. Season with ground pepper and sea salt while cooking. Add baby spinach and marinara to the skillet and give it a good stir. Heat for a few minutes, until spinach has wilted and sauce is hot.
Top each bowl of zucchini noodles with a portion the turkey marinara, sprinkle on a little goat cheese, crushed red pepper and fresh oregano (if using). Enjoy!
To keep this recipe really simple I used a jar of organic, no-sugar added pasta sauce from Whole Foods. If you have the time feel free to whip up a batch of homemade pasta sauce. I love this one from Edible Perspective.
