Directions

Directions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a large sauce pan over high heat. Add the zucchini and boil for two minutes. Drain well and set the cooked zucchini aside in a colander to continue draining.

  2. In a large sauté pan, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey, Italian seasoning and garlic and sauté, breaking up the turkey to crumble it. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until the turkey is just cooked through.

  3. Add the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer for two minutes, then stir in the drained zucchini. Continue to simmer for 2 more minutes.

  4. Stir in both cheeses and stir until melted.

    Absolutely loved this recipe! My fiancé is vegetarian and I am the T1D, so we had to alter it a little bit (used beyond burger meat for turkey meat) but this recipe we will definitely be making again!
