Low Carb Turkey Meat Sauce with Zucchini Noodles


For the Sauce:
  • 1 lb. extra lean ground turkey
  • 2 Sweet Italian turkey sausages, casings removed
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 - 24 oz. jar arrabbiata sauce
  • olive oil spray
  • grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil spray.  Add the turkey and turkey sausage, and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.  Season the meat with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and crushed red pepper flakes and add the bell pepper and onion to the pan.  Continue to cook, stirring everything together to evenly season the meat and veggies.  

Pour the sauce over the time and stir to combine.  Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.


For the Zucchini Noodles:

While the sauce is simmering, heat a second skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the zucchini noodles and season with your favorite seasonings.  I used garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes.  


Use a wooden spoon to move them around the pan.  Once starting to loosen up, pour some unsalted chicken broth over the top and a few dashes of liquid aminos.  Stir everything around, cover the pan and let simmer until the noodles are to the softness of your liking.  Remove the lid and continue to cook until the broth is mostly absorbed.

Enjoy the sauce over the noodles.  Yum!
