Ingredients

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

Instructions

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!

Notes

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.
