Easy Weeknight Meal
We love an easy one pot weeknight meal! This Easy Turkey Zucchini Skillet makes it easy to continue to eat a healthy diet. Even better, this is something that the whole family will love. It is full of flavor, has loads of veggies and the topping of a fresh avocado makes this a complete meal. This recipe is also great for meal prep as it reheats perfectly in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Black Soy Beans
To keep this recipe low carb, we use black soy beans. These can easily be found online or at most grocery stores! Although if you are not following a keto or low carb diet, you can substitute these for regular black beans.
Topping
We really think that the fresh avocado and lime juice completes this meal! You can serve this as is or serve or cauliflower rice bulk up the meal and keep it low carb. We like serving this dish with Tex-Mex shredded cheese. It makes the dish even easier to make. Feel free to use your favorite cheese such as Monterrey jack, cheddar, etc.
Protein
We like using ground turkey in this recipe. The lean protein pairs well with the zucchini and the freshness of the avocado. However, this dish will work well with just about any protein including:
- Ground Chicken
- Ground Beef
- Tofu
Just remember that changing the protein will change the nutrition information that I have below. If following a low carb or keto diet, keep in mind that tofu will increase the carb count as well!
