Directions
Heat large sauté pan over medium heat. Add oil, onion, mushrooms and zucchini to pan and cook 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
Add ground turkey and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until no longer pink, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
