Assemble your vegetables; wash the zucchini and carrots
Chop the ends off of your zucchini, then place in your spiralizer with the small noodle blade and spin the spiralizer to create a plate full of zucchini noodles
Chop the onions, grate the carrots and mince the garlic
Sautee the zucchini noodles in a medium-large pan in 1/2 Tbsp olive oil; they will reduce down to about half the size (or less) of the original mound of zucchini; remove and place on a plate
In the same pan, add the chopped onion, carrots and garlic; sautee in 1/2 Tbsp olive oil until the onion is tender
At the same time you sautee the onions and carrots, brown the ground turkey in a separate, large pan; add all the spices (except the sugar and fresh basil)
Add the all the veggies (except the zucchini noodles) plus the can of petite diced tomatoes; stir well; add the sugar (optional); let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally
Add the zucchini noodles and mix lightly
Spoon into bowls and top with torn fresh basil (or sprinkle a little dried basil on top if you don’t have fresh basil handy). Enjoy!!
