1 tablespoon avocado oil

1 ¼ pound ground turkey

2 tsp low sodium taco seasoning

Pink salt and black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 zucchini noodles or 1 bag frozen zucchini noodles

2 cups baby spinach leaves

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

½ onion, sliced

½ cup shredded parmesan

Directions

1. If not using frozen zucchini, trim and spiralize the zucchini and cut to make length of spaghetti.

2. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, pepper, taco seasoning, salt, red pepper flakes. Stir until turkey is lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.

3. Add the zucchini noodles and toss with pasta tongs and cook until al dente about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let the noodles cook any longer or else they become mushy.
