I’m so excited to share this one! It’s healthy and delicious, packed with veggies, and still tastes great! You can eat this as is, topped with a little sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, or avocado. Use it for quesadilla filling, top a tostada, or make tacos with it! You could serve it as a bowl with rice too! It is very versatile.

To keep it leaner, I used half extra lean ground turkey and half lean ground beef. This is a great meal prep option too! I ate it for a few days and it reheats great. My kids loved it too! Well, they did have questionable comments about the zucchini if I am being honest, but the rest of it they loved :) My oldest had two servings!

You can buy your taco seasoning or make it yourself. I like to make my own to control the salt and the spice! Here is my recipe for taco seasoning.

Here is what you will need:

• Extra Lean Ground Turkey
• Lean Ground Beef
• Zucchini
• Corn
• Canned Tomatoes
• Mushrooms – any kind works
• Onion
• Taco Seasoning – store bought or make your own
