Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini (~420 g), quartered and sliced
  • 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-o brand)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chile (I used Rotel brand)

Instructions

In a medium size bowl add ground turkey and spices. Use a disposable glove and mix the spices together with your hand. Preheat a skillet to medium to medium high heat; add meat to skillet and cook until brown and there is no pink remaining.

Turn heat to medium. Add the diced tomatoes and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for about 10 more minutes until the zucchini is tender crisp (cooked but firm, squishy zucchini isn't desirable).

Serve with your choice of toppings (not included in MyFitnessPal macros)

Additional topping ideas: green onion, cilantro, light sour cream, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips, guacamole/avocado.
