  1. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onions and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground turkey and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the turkey is no longer pink, stirring and breaking into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  3. Add in the zucchini, basil, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in tomatoes and pesto. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Serve by itself, with roasted vegetables or a salad for a low carb meal. Or with orzo, pasta, potatoes or carb of choice for a macro balanced meal!
