Turkey and Zucchini Stir Fry

Bariatric friendly easy weeknight meal using ground turkey and zucchini is a simple stir fry

When I feel I am at the cusp of getting stuck in a rut with recipes and cooking, stir fry tends to be a great way to change up my rhythm.

For whatever reason, stir fry isn’t a meal that comes to mind quickly. It is usually when I am trying to think of something that isn’t Mexican or Meatloaf or Chili (favorites in the Wagner house) that I try to go for Asian or Stir Fry.

This recipe was a hit for both me as a cook and me as a diner. The cook part of me enjoyed that it was quick and only needed one skillet. The diner in me enjoyed that it was a good change of flavors without being too overpowering. (I made this recipe first with a rice vinegar and it was more than I preferred!)
