Eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing flavor—and these spiced-up zoodles prove it. If you don't have a spiralizer, simply slice the zucchini julienne-style. —Elizabeth Bramkamp, Gig Harbor, Washington

Ingredients

4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 pound ground turkey
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 medium zucchini, spiralized
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
Optional: Chopped fresh cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Add turkey, onion, jalapeno and garlic; cook until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, 8-10 minutes, breaking turkey into crumbles; drain. Stir in seasonings; remove and keep warm. Wipe out pan.

In the same pan, heat remaining olive oil; cook zucchini over medium heat until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, corn, beans and reserved turkey mixture; heat through. If desired, serve with cilantro and cheese.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
