Begin by heating a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey to the pan and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.

In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, chili powder, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and basil. Once the turkey is browned, sprinkle the seasoning mix over it and stir well. Set aside.

In the same saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.

Add the sliced zucchini and chopped bell peppers to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Combine veggie seasonings: garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, chili powder, and paprika. Sprinkle over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes until tender.

Add the browned turkey back into the pan with the cooked vegetables. Lower the heat to medium-low.

Stir in the tomato paste and water. Mix until well combined and create a rich sauce.

Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld flavors together. Serve garnished with cheese if desired.
