Ground Turkey Zucchini Boats

Ground Turkey

Zucchini

Rotel

Red Onion

Assorted Peppers

Baby Spinach

Shredded Cheese

Sour Cream/Salsa

Slice both ends off of each zucchini then slice them in half.  Using a spoon scoop out the middle of each zucchini to create the "boat".  Sprinkle with garlic powder and cracked black pepper.  Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until tender (you should be able to poke with a fork very easily).  While the zucchini are cooking brown the turkey.  Once browned add the can of Rotel.  In a separate pan saute the red onion and peppers.

Spoon the turkey mixture (heaping) into each boat.  Top with veggies and shredded cheese.  Return the boats to the oven to melt the cheese.  Top with sour cream and salsa.

Happy Eating...

Feldman Quick Tips

We switched to ground turkey about a month into our move to clean eating.  We found that our progress had stalled and thought we would try removing red meat for awhile. That short period of time got us hooked on ground turkey.  We buy ours from Aldi's and add sea salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion flakes and cayenne pepper to spice it up.  All of these are by taste but I will tell you that the onion flakes, garlic powder and cayenne are used with a heavy hand...we do like our life a bit on the spicy side.
