The flavor of all of the different veggies mixed with taco seasoning (of your choice) makes for such a delicious kick when you take that first bite. Throwing the zucchini into this recipe is a perfect way to swindle kids with a picky appetite into eating green veggies. Ha!

If you’re cooking for yourself, using this recipe can make you multiple more portions to have prepped for the future! Just remember turkey only lasts 3-4 days in the fridge, so freeze it or throw it out after that. So, make the recipe, then portion it out just right and mark meal prep off your list for the week!
