I do not like making zucchini boats because I know my kids will not eat the zucchini, just the "insides"(same with stuffed peppers) so this is a perfect alternative for us to get in all our veggies :-)
You will need:
1lb ground turkey( could use spicy sausage, or whatever is your preference)
1 large zucchini
1 medium onion
Small green pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Red Potatoes(Your preference, about 1 1/2-2 cups)
3 Roma tomatoes,chopped
Oregano,Thyme,Sage (1/2tsp each optional)
Salt and Pepper
1/2 cup shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
1. Add turkey to pan and top with seasoning of your choice( I used Rachel Rays 24/7 seasoning grinder)let cook until no longer pink and drain(leave in colander)
2. Heat Olive Oil in the pan,add potatoes and allow to start browning on all sides
3. Add zucchini,onion,pepper, garlic, and salt and pepper. Allow to cook until onions are translucent.
4. Add turkey back to pan and add tomatoes.Add spices and stir to combine. Cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring often.
5. Turn off stove, add cheese to the top and add cover back to melt cheese just for a few seconds.
