Friday Feast - Cilantro Turkey and Zucchini Salad

Cilantro Turkey Saute and Zucchini Ribbon Salad

This was one of the fastest meals I have ever cooked.  It was really flavorful and only took about 15 min total to make, this makes a great quick weeknight meal.  You can even combine it with roasted tomatoes and I think it would add to the flavors.
