Zucchini Pasta with Turkey Pasta Sauce

Zucchini Pasta with Turkey Pasta Sauce  

Most people have been eating zoodles for a few years now, but here I am finally giving them a try.  I’d blame my tardiness on living in Shenzhen and Hong Kong and never seeing them sold there (and not having a spiralizer), but we’ve been back stateside for almost 2 years. 

No, the reason I was hesitant to try them is that I’m not a huge zucchini fan. 

Today, I thought we’d finally join the zoodle club and use up our can of hometown favorite pasta sauce with some ground turkey thrown in.

The frozen bag of zucchini noodles (we used Green Giant) took about 6 1/2 minutes to cook in the microwave while mrC was browning the turkey burger and heating up the sauce. Dinner in under 10 minutes!

This meal worked great for our FASTer Way Moderate Carb day, but would also be fine on low carb day - for any carb cyclers reading this. My plate is the suggested serving size of zucchini spirals 85g, 5 ounces of turkey burger and half a cup sauce.

I actually enjoyed these zoodles and think I’ll have them again, but I’d like to try some different recipes. Let me know how you eat your zucchini spirals in the comments below.
