The flavors of the salsa verde pairs well with ground turkey. Little to no additional seasoning required. Make it as mild or spicy as you like by using your salsa verde of choice.

Recipe Notes
Add additional diced green chilies, jalapeños or even Serrano peppers if you want to kick up the heat.If the turkey, zucchini and salsa releases quite a bit of water while cooking, don't be alarmed. Just drain some or cook it a bit longer until it evaporates.Serving size: ¾ cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.6*SmartPoints (Green plan)5*SmartPoints (Blue plan)5*SmartPoints (Purple plan)7*PointsPlus (Old plan)
