4 stars (1 rating)

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces ground turkey
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups marinara sauce
⅔ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup mini pepperonis
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Cut each zucchini in half horizontally, then carefully scoop out the center of the zucchini, reserving for another use, leaving about 1/2-inch of zucchini on the skin.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground turkey, oregano and basil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Place zucchini in a single layer, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add ground turkey mixture to each zucchini and sprinkle with mozzarella, topping with mini pepperonis.
Place into oven and bake until the zucchini is tender and the cheese has melted, about 20-25 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan, if desired.
