I love this Easy Ground Turkey Carbonara recipe because with a little effort and in less than 30 minutes, plain ground turkey can taste like you really know what you are doing in the kitchen.
To keep this Turkey Carbonara recipe fit, I used “zoodles”, zucchini that has been spiralizer, instead of noodles, so it takes the “carb” out of “carbonara.” I also swap out real bacon for turkey bacon.
This Ground Turkey Carbonara, a one-pot dinner, is low carb, packs a lot of flavors, and has all your veggies built right in, making it a perfect fit food!
