    1 tbsp olive oil (or just use non stick pan without any oil)
    1 lb ground turkey
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 zucchini (not a giant one!), chopped
    2 jars (650 ml each) of pasta sauce [my favourite sauce is classico red wine and herb]

Tips

My favourite way to serve this is over Spaghetti squash. [For those who haven't cooked spaghetti squash before, DO NOT BE SCARED! It is super easy... cut squash in half. Remove seeds. Add a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook in oven at 375 for about 45 min to 1 hour. it is done by the time your sauce is done!]


Directions

Brown ground turkey in olive oil.
Add veggies and cook until softened.
Add jars of pasta sauce and bring to simmer.
Simmer for about 30 mins.
