A healthy twist on tacos, these zucchini boats are filled with savory ground turkey, taco seasoning, and topped with cheese, making them a nutritious and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • Sour cream (for serving)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up while you prepare the zucchinis.
  2. Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the center, creating cozy little boats waiting to be filled.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until it’s browned, making sure to drain any excess fat for a cleaner dish.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Carefully fill each zucchini boat with the savory turkey mixture, packing it in as much as you can.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each filled boat.
  7. Place your zucchini boats in a baking dish and pop them into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the zucchinis are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Remove the boats from the oven, top with a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to customize the filling with black beans or corn. Don’t skip the garnishes; they add brightness and flavor to the dish.
