Turkey Stuffed Zucchini Boats - Clean&Delicious®
Description
Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini (about 2 lbs.)
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup reserved zucchini 'meat' from the center of zucchini
- 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 cup strained tomatoes
- 1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and pre-heat oven to 350.
Slice zucchini in half length wise and use a spoon (or melon baller) to scoop out the center leaving about 1/4 inch zucchini shell all around (see video for demonstration).
Brown turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break the meat into smaller pieces. Add garlic, onion, green peppers, zucchini meat, italian seasoning, strained tomatoes, sat, and pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the veggies are tender and all the flavors have come together.
Place zucchini halves in a baking dish and fill each zucchini boat with about 1/2 cup filling. Top each turley stuffed zucchini boat with 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 min.
Enjoy!
