Ingredients

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. Rinse fresh produce.

3. Trim and spiralize or julienne the zucchini; set aside.

4. Place a large skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add almonds and cook for 3 minutes or until lightly toasted; remove from skillet and set aside.

5. Return skillet to stove over medium heat and add oil. Once hot, add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add bell pepper and turkey and cook for 5 minutes.

6. Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and zucchini noodles. Toss noodles and turkey with tongs and cook for 3 minutes, ensuring leftover turkey has reached a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit as verified by an instant-read thermometer.

7. Add chicken broth and lemon juice and cook for 3 minutes or until zucchini noodles are al dente. Do not overcook zoodles or they will become mushy. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with almonds and serve.
