Share:
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
- 1/2 lb turkey Italian sausage
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1/4 cup parsley or 2 tsp dried, fresh
- 1/4 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the tip and tail off of the zucchini and slice in half length-wise. Scoop the seeds out of the zucchini, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch of flesh around the edges. Save the insides for the stuffing mixture (don't throw them away!).
- Place zucchini halves in a large casserole dish cut-side up and lightly coat with avocado oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil. Add the chopped onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground turkey sausage, leaving it in a solid chunk. Brown for 3 minutes, then flip and brown for another 3 minutes.
- Use a spatula to chop the Italian sausage into smaller pieces. Stir in the zucchini innards and seeds, along with the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until sausage is cooked through.
- Scoop the turkey mixture into the zucchini boats. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until zucchini reaches desired done-ness. Serve with any of your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
