Ingredients
Scale
- 16–20 oz. ground turkey
- 1 zucchini diced into 1/2” pieces
- 1 orange bell pepper diced into 1/2” pieces
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder substitute 1/4 cup diced onion if preferred
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1 bag reduced-fat tortilla chips
- 2 c. 2% milk Mexican blend cheese
- salsa optional
- reduced-fat sour cream optional
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, zucchini, bell pepper, and all spices. Stir to combine and saute, stirring frequently, until meat is cooked through and bell pepper is tender.
-
Meanwhile, arrange chips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil. (There will be enough meat to make two pans of nachos, which will feed 5-6 people a dinner-sized portion.)
-
Evenly sprinkle meat mixture over chips, then sprinkle cheese over the meat. Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.
Notes
This recipe is written to make two pans of nachos, but you can reduce the amount of chips and cheese to make one pan, which will serve about three people for dinner. This will leave you with leftover meat, which makes great taco salad!
