Ingredients

3 zucchini
1 tablespoon salt, or more as needed
1 pound ground turkey
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (3 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Make zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Place noodles in a colander and cover liberally with 1 tablespoon salt. Let sit until noodles release some moisture, about 20 minutes. Rinse noodles and pat dry.
Place ground turkey, garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until turkey is browned and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Drain grease.
Push turkey to the sides of the skillet to make an empty space in the center. Add olive oil and minced garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Stir diced tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, parsley, basil, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in noodles. Cover with cottage cheese. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil until cheese is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Use a spiralizer to create the zoodles. This is the easiest way to get long, thin strands of zucchini that resemble spaghetti.
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create wide ribbons of zucchini. Just be careful not to peel too deeply, or you'll end up with thick, tough zoodles.
Zucchini noodles can be cooked in a variety of ways. You can boil them, steam them, or sauté them. You can also add them to soups and stews.
Turkey spaghetti is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a healthy and delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
Feel free to experiment with different ingredients in your turkey spaghetti. You can add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, peppers, or spinach. You can also use different sauces, such as a tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce.

Conclusion:

Turkey spaghetti is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to use up leftover turkey, give turkey spaghetti a try.
