Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; sauté for 3-4 minutes until onion is soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  2. 2
    Push the vegetables to the edge of the pan. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil, then add ground turkey. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and (if using) red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking up the turkey, until browned.
  3. 3
    Add sliced zucchini and drained tomatoes. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  4. 4
    Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is fork-tender and most liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated.
  5. 5
    Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve hot!
