To help you use up some of your zucchini

These "zucchini boats" are good.  Really good.  AND good for you.
Normally I'm not a huge fan of ground turkey.  Maybe because when I cook it, it has a weird gray color.  But when you add the Taco seasoning it's a game changer.

Recipe.

Cut zucchini in half and carve out the middle (I use a spoon)
Cook 1 pound of Jenni-O ground turkey on the stove.  When it's fully cooked, add a little water and Taco seasoning (as much seasoning as you prefer--I like it more mild)
Spoon cooked turkey into the zucchini.  Add cut up fresh mushrooms and olives (or whatever toppings you like).


Cook at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes.  Then add some mozzarella cheese and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes or until zucchini is tender when stabbed with a fork.

Fast.  Easy.  And healthy.

I'm still trying to warm my kids up to zucchini.  They aren't big fans.  So I just put the extra ground turkey and toppings in a corn taco shell for them.


The original idea for this came from an Instagram account I was following but now can't find.  Probably because one of my kids accidentally un-followed them.  Anyway, it was tweaked from that to our liking.
