Zucchini stuffed with meat, vegetables and cheese.

Stuffed Zucchini

Zucchini does not have a sharp distinct flavor, and is quite simple to use in healthy meals. This stuffed zucchini recipe makes the most out of this and adds a dash of Italian seasoning to the otherwise plain food. There’s room for customization; you can add whatever spices you love, and it will only make it better!

Prep Instructions

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan.
  • Place the chopped onions onto the pan once the oil has heated.

  • Next, add the ground turkey, mix it well with the onions, and make sure it gets covered in the sauce.
  • Add rice and ½ cup Parmesan.
  • Top it with your favorite spices, pepper, and salt.
  • Set this mixture aside. This is your stuffing.

Cooking Instructions

  • Cut the zucchinis in half.
  • Hollow out the zucchinis to prepare the boats which you will stuff later. You can do this perfectly with a melon baller.
  • Once the zucchini halves are ready to be stuffed, add a small amount of salt and pepper on the inside and then spoon in the mixture.
  • Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Parmesan over the boats.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°, and bake the stuffed zucchinis for 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
