Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 7–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the green beans for about 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In the same frying pan, add the remaining olive oil and spiralized zucchini. Sauté for about 3–5 minutes until just tender but still al dente.
- Combine the sautéed turkey with the zucchini noodles and green beans, stirring gently to mix and heat through for another minute.
- Serve the turkey zucchini mixture on plates, drizzle with tahini, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your delightful low-carb meal!
