Instructions
- Let’s start by preparing the zucchini. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Halve the zucchinis long ways and carefully remove the insides with a spoon or melon baller. Then, spray the zucchini halves with cooking oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
- While the zucchini bakes, prepare the couscous according to the box instructions.
- While the couscous cooks, let's work on the ground turkey. Spray a skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Add ground turkey, diced red onion, and also the dried basil.
- Sauté ground turkey until fully cooked, breaking up into smaller chunks with a meat masher it cooks. At this point, the couscous should be done. Add it to the cooked meat.
- Then, pour pasta sauce into the skillet and mix.
- Using a spoon, add the meat mixture into each cooked zucchini boat.
- Top the boats with shredded cheese and put them back into the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking.
- Serve & enjoy! 😊
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. These reheat well in the microwave. Use 30-60 second intervals.
- Zucchini is VERY delicate, so scoop gently. I broke a few of my boats when making them for the first time. Also, if your boats don’t all fit in one baking dish, use two instead of stacking them.
- Freeze the zucchini pulp for smoothies or chop up and add to a stir fry.
