Let’s make zucchini spaghetti!
Instructions:
- In a medium to large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season it with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Cook the ground turkey until it’s browned and fully cooked. Once done, set it aside in a separate bowl. In the same pot, add the minced garlic and chopped onions and sauté them for about a minute or until they become fragrant.
- Add the peeled and chopped tomatoes, followed by the basil, oregano, jalapeños (adjust the amount to your desired heat level), and chicken bouillon powder to the pot.
- Stir in the tomato sauce and combine all the ingredients in the pot. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
- Once the ingredients in the pot start bubbling, you can either use an immersion blender to blend them directly in the pot or transfer them to a blender and then return the mixture to the pot.
- Add the cooked ground turkey back into the pot and gently mix everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Let it simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- When you’re ready to serve, heat a separate pan over medium heat. Add a touch of butter and then the zucchini noodles. Season the noodles with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté them for no more than two minutes until they’re just tender.
- Serve the zucchini noodles on a plate and top them with one or two generous scoops of your ground turkey sauce.
- Garnish your dish with Parmesan cheese or fresh basil, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious zucchini spaghetti!
The cooking process is straightforward. First, brown the ground turkey with some salt and pepper. Set it aside once it’s cooked. Then, sauté garlic and onions in the same pan, add chopped tomatoes, basil, oregano, jalapeños, and chicken bouillon powder. Stir in tomato sauce and let it simmer until everything is blended.
You can either use an immersion blender or a regular blender to make the sauce smooth. Add back the cooked turkey, season to taste, and let it simmer for a bit longer.
For the zucchini noodles, just sauté them briefly in a pan with a touch of butter, salt, and pepper.
