Here is a fun and healthy dinner for the whole family to enjoy! A nice little 'twist' on pizza. It has no crust so it is low-carb, but keeps all the amazing flavors we know and love!
Very simple too!:)
Pizza-Style Stuffed Zucchini Boats
6 zucchinis
1 lb ground turkey (or other ground meat)
1 onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb sliced mushrooms
15 oz. tomato sauce
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
minced fresh basil
Instructions:
Cut each zucchini into halves and scrape out insides of zucchini into a pot that will be used to make the stuffing.
Add to the pot with the zucchini pulp (the scraped out insides) ground turkey, onion, fresh garlic, and mushrooms.
Brown all together, drain, season with salt pepper and Italian seasoning, then stir in a jar (or can) of tomato sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and minced basil.
Then stuff!
Top with more sprinkled cheese (and extra mushrooms if you love mushrooms like my family does!), bake at 350 for half hour and DONE :)
Feel free to switch up the ingredients with your own pizza topping favorites - chopped pepperoni, olives, peppers and other veggies, etc, would all work very well here!

These look delicious...and super easy! I actually have some veggie crumbles in the fridge that I could use in place of the turkey to make it vegetarian. Thanks for this!

Thanks for the recipe! Found you at backyardfarmingconnection. I haven't ever thought of putting mince in zucchini boats. I'll be pinning this for when we hit harvest time (down in Australia here…)
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial, this is one recipe that is a family favorite passed down from my grandmother. In the middle of winter you can take one out of the freezer and enjoy it like you did the day it was made. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop!
