Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchinis diced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced zucchini, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. If using, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2 minutes before serving.
