Description

A comforting dish featuring zucchini filled with ground turkey, tomatoes, and cheese, perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create boats.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes.
  5. Spoon the turkey mixture into the hollowed zucchinis, packing it in gently. Place on a baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle cheese on top of each stuffed zucchini. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the zucchinis are tender and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, then serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for about 3 days in the fridge. Unbaked boats can be frozen for up to 3 months.
