Turkey Zucchini Skillet Recipe Video

Okay, so I've been fairly addicted to these "skillet" meals lately, but I'm telling you, once you make one you'll see why!! It's just one of the easiest ways to get good food on the table fast and this Turkey and Zucchini Skillet video will show you just what I mean. This was one of those, "hungry-for-dinner-with-no-plans-in-mind" meals. I came home on a Tuesday, opened the fridge and just pulled out what I had on hand. I love this meal because really you are sitting down to a bowl of veggies mixed with a little lean protein but somehow it feels like a much heartier meal. This is a good one to make when you feel like having a big bowl of comfort food but don't want to break the "calorie" bank. As always, use this recipe as a guide and adaptt it to whatever you have hanging around in your fridge. You could take this one a lot of different ways!
