Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 medium zucchinis, diced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or basil, optional garnish
Instructions
Heat the Olive Oil: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Cook the Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart as it browns, until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), Italian seasoning, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Cook the Zucchini: Add the diced zucchini and cook for another 5 minutes, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Season and Garnish: Season with salt to taste and garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
