TACO STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS (6 servings)
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2/3 cup water
3 medium zucchini
1/4 medium white onion
16 oz canned tomatoes
1 medium jalapeño
1/4 cup cilantro
12 oz ground turkey
6 tbsp cheese blend
Directions:
➡️ Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
➡️ Add turkey to a skillet set over medium-high heat. Break up beef into pieces as it cooks, until crumbles are fully cooked.
➡️ Sprinkle the spice mix over top of the beef, and then raise the heat to high. Pour water into the skillet, then lower heat to low-medium.
➡️ Let turkey simmer until nearly all of the water has reduced. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
➡️ Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet or baking dish with foil and lightly grease.
➡️ Cut the ends off of each zucchini and slice in half. Using a spoon, scoop out the center of each zucchini half, removing the seeds. Leave about 1/2" of an edge to hold in the filling.
➡️ Place the six zucchini boats next to one another on a prepared baking sheet or dish. Evenly spoon the beef into each boat, and then onion.
➡️ Evenly distribute the diced tomatoes to the zucchini boats, and top each with shredded cheese.
➡️ Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the zucchini is relatively fork-tender.
➡️ Top with sliced jalapeno pepper and cilantro before serving.
