Baked Zucchini Noodles with Turkey, Feta, Tomatoes, Olives & BasilBaked Zucchini Noodles with Turkey, Feta, Tomatoes, Olives & Basil — a 30-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (113 g) pkgs crumbled feta cheese

1 small pkg fresh basil

1 ½ small pkgs grape tomatoes

1.02 kg ground turkey

1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

¾ cup pine nuts

3 (213 ml) cans tomato sauce

9 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

crushed red pepper

extra virgin olive oil

oregano, dried

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F). Line two baking sheet pans with aluminum foil for easier cleanup (optional).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim zucchini, then run a vegetable peeler along the length of the zucchini to make ribbons. Divide between the baking sheets, drizzle with oil, and season with spices; toss to combine and spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheets in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake, tossing halfway through, until zucchini is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, halve grape tomatoes. Place in a medium bowl.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add turkey and spices; cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, roughly chop olives. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and thinly slice into ribbons. Add half to the bowl. (Reserve remaining basil for serving.)

When the turkey is done, add tomatoes, olives, basil, tomato sauce, feta, and pine nuts to the pot. Stir to combine the sauce and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from heat.

To serve, divide zucchini noodles between plates or bowls. Top with sauce and reserved basil. Enjoy!
