Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until golden and moisture evaporates.
  2. Step 2: Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook for 4 minutes until no longer pink.
  3. Step 3: Stir in tomato paste, garlic, oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve tomato paste. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Add spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently with tongs for 2 minutes until heated through and just tender (do not overcook).
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat immediately to prevent mushiness and serve warm.
