Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
1–2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking turkey)

1 tsp salt

Pat ground turkey dry and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat 1–2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook turkey until browned (5–7 minutes).
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet, then cook zucchini slices until tender (4–5 minutes). Add remaining salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, herbs, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Stir yogurt mixture into the skillet with turkey and zucchini. Serve over cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
