ONE POT TACO ZUCCHINI NOODLES

This is a healthier, low carb and gluten free version of one pot taco spaghetti, using ground turkey and zucchini noodles. It’s an easy meal and everything cooks in one pan.

One of Mr. K’s favorite dishes is one pot taco spaghetti. But since we’ve been trying to eat healthier, I decided to make a lighter version, using ground turkey instead of ground beef and zucchini noodles instead of spaghetti. I was worried he’d complain that this version is too healthy but he actually loved it.

The zucchini noodles hold up quite well and soak up a lot of the taco tomato sauce. I’ll definitely be making this again next time we’ve craving taco pasta.
