Caprese Zoodles With Ground Turkey

I love summertime when tomatoes are fresh and I can get fresh basil from my front yard. Add fresh mozzarella, some ground spiced turkey and put it over some zucchini that has been turned into Zoodles and it's a plate of deliciousness. You can easily substitute cooked shrimp or ground chicken or beef for the turkey.
