Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra lean ground turkey breast or ground meat of choice
  • 3 zucchini spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup white onion diced
  • 2/3 cup artichokes in water drained & quartered
  • 28 ounce tomatoes
  • 6 ounce tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic and onion. Stir them together and sauté 2-3 minutes until the onions are tender.
  • Add the ground turkey breast. Using a spatula, break up the meat as it cooks. Once it starts to brown, add the red wine. Stir and scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Add salt, pepper, bay leaf, Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil then immediately reduce to a simmer and cover for 10 minutes.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the artichokes and remove the bay leaf.
  • Portion the zucchini noodles into 4 meal prep containers and top with the meat sauce.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace with low sodium broth.
