Instructions

1

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.

2

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook ground turkey until browned, breaking into small pieces. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.

3

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.

4

Fill each zucchini boat generously with the turkey mixture. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan.

5

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.
