Zucchini Boats

A friend gave me a recipe and I LOVED it. So did my family and neighbor! This time I made a few adjustments to make it a little more healthy. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 Zucchini
  • 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 3/4 -1 C of salsa
  • 1/2-1 C of cooked quinoa
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added, drained
  • 1/4 C minced fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (homemade) - use more if you like a little more kick
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 C shredded cheese

Directions:

  1. Cut  zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leave 1/4" in shells. 
  2. Place shells in an ungreased 3 qt microwave save dish. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside. 
  3. Meanshile in a large skillet, cook turkey over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove from heat and stir in quinoa, cilantro, chili powder, cumin and tomatoes. Scoop into zucchini shells.
  4. Microwave, uncovered on high for 2-4 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Microwave for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese and zucchini are tender. 
Enjoy!!
