Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 3 units large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by spiralizing the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the medium onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Meanwhile, in another large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, just until the zucchini noodles are tender but still slightly firm.

Step 8

To serve, divide the zucchini noodles among four plates. Top each with the ground turkey sauce mixture.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your healthy Paleo Ground Turkey Spaghetti!
