Ingredients
- 12 oz ground turkey 93% lean
- 5 zucchini 7 oz each, cut in half lengthwise, medium
- 3/4 cups black beans rinsed and drained, canned
- 1/2 cup mild salsa jarred
- 3/4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 15 tbsp Mexican blend cheese shredded, reduced-fat
- 1 Serrano pepper chopped (or jalepeño) more to taste, hot, pickled
- 1 tomato large, diced
- 1 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp cumin
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Using a small spoon or melon baller, hollow out the center of the zucchini halves, leaving 1/4-inch thick shell on each half. Chop the scooped out flesh of the zucchini in small pieces and set aside 3/4 of a cup to add to the turkey filling, (squeeze excess water with a paper towel) discarding the rest or save to use in another recipe.
- Drop zucchini halves in boiling water and cook 1 minute. Remove from water.
- In a large skillet brown the turkey and season with salt. When the turkey is browned, add onion, garlic, black beans, cilantro, serrano pepper, diced tomatoes, reserved zucchini and cumin. Mix well and simmer on low, covered for 20 minutes.
- Remove lid, add corn and simmer an additional 5 minutes or until all the liquid reduces.
- Place the salsa in the bottom of a large baking dish (or two medium size dishes) and place the hollowed out zucchini cut side up in the dish.
- Using a spoon, fill the hollowed zucchini boats dividing the filling equally, about 1/3 cup in each, pressing firmly. Top each with 1 1/2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes until cheese is melted and zucchini is cooked through.
