Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon to create boats. Place in a baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook ground turkey until browned, breaking into small pieces. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
Stir in diced tomatoes, cooked quinoa, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 3 minutes.
Tip: Chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and add it to the filling for extra bulk.
Fill each zucchini boat generously with the turkey mixture. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes until cheese is golden and zucchini is tender. Garnish with basil.
