This is a tasty recipe that really works on several levels. Fast and easy to make, it works great during the week. You can swap the ground turkey for pork or beef. Or eggplant for the zucchini. Versatile and delicious, it's my kind of meal.

Prep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins

3 cups Zucchini

1 cup Tomatoes chopped

4 tsp Olive oil

12 oz Butcher ground turkeyUse the correct amount for your plan (2 servings)

½ cup Cooked brown rice

½ cup Water

2 tsp Chili powder

2 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Dried oregano

¼ tsp Morton’s Lite Salt

¼ tsp Pepper

In a medium size skillet, brown ground turkey in olive oil over medium heat until cooked through.

Add chopped tomatoes, water and all the spices. Stir, cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove lid and cook until mixture is a sauce consistency.

Remove from heat, add rice, stir and cover.

If you have a spiralizer, now is the perfect time to use it. Make 3 cups of zucchini spirals. If not, use a vegetable peeler and peel the zucchini down to the core on each side. Line up the planks and make long, thin noodles with a knife.

Add your zucchini noodles to a microwave safe bowl, add a few teaspoons of water, and microwave on high for two minutes. ( this is not necessary, but it will soften the noodles a little bit)

Split the noodles into two servings and pour half of the taco sauce over each serving.
