Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 4 large zucchini
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and spiralize them into noodles using a spiralizer, or use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the onions and garlic to one side of the pan. Add the ground turkey to the empty side of the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the turkey is browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Once the turkey is cooked, mix it together with the onions and garlic. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

In another large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté them for 3-5 minutes until they are just tender, but not mushy.

Step 8

To serve, divide the zucchini noodles into bowls and top with the turkey sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Enjoy your Whole30 Ground Turkey Spaghetti while it's hot!
