      4. Zucchini Noodles with Quick Turkey Bolognese

      Zucchini Noodles with Quick Turkey Bolognese

      Low Sodium Low Protein Diabetes-Friendly Heart Healthy Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American Dinner

      Zucchini Noodles with Quick Turkey Bolognese

      Low Sodium Low Protein Diabetes-Friendly Heart Healthy Egg-Free No Shellfish Nut-Free Gluten-Free American Dinner
      4 containers
      Prep time: 35 minutes
      Total time: 35 minutes

      Description

      This lean Bolognese is made with ground turkey instead of ground beef and the result is just as delicious! Plus, finely chopped mushrooms are incorporated into the sauce for an easy way to eat more vegetables. Here we've used zucchini "noodles" to create easy make-ahead meals, but this hearty sauce would also be delicious over your favorite pasta or over polenta with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

      Directions

      1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add turkey, mushrooms and salt; cook, crumbling the turkey with a wooden spoon and stirring, until the turkey is no longer pink and the mushrooms are cooked, about 10 minutes.
      2. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley (or basil).
      3. As the sauce cooks, divide zucchini noodles among 4 single-serving containers with lids (about 2 cups per container). Add 3/4 cup of the sauce and 2 tablespoons Parmesan to each container. Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
      4. To reheat, vent the lid and microwave on High until the sauce is steaming and the noodles are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
