Zucchini & Ground Turkey Skillet With Ricotta
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, turkey, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and Italian seasoning.

  3. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

  4. Remove the turkey from the pan and set aside.

  5. To the same pan (no need to wash it first), add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, zucchini, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

  6. Turn up the heat to medium-high and cook until the zucchini is just tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  7. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, stirring frequently.

  8. Add the turkey back to the pan, then pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until everything is warmed-through and slightly thickened.

  9. Add a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.

  10. Meanwhile, make the ricotta mixture by mixing the ricotta, Parmesan, and basil in a medium bowl until smooth.

  11. Turn off the heat.

  12. Add spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the top, letting it melt slightly into the sauce.

  13. Sprinkle with a bit more basil and parmesan, plus red pepper flakes, if desired.
