Hollowed out zucchini boats stuffed with a cumin spiced ground turkey and black bean mixture with summer corn and tomato, all baked in the oven with melted cheese – YUM!
INGREDIENTS
For the filling:
12 oz 93% lean ground turkey
3/4 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1 hot pickled serrano pepper, chopped (or jalepeño) more to taste
1 large diced tomato
1 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tsp cumin
kosher salt to taste
For the zucchini:
5 medium zucchini, 7 oz each, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup jarred mild salsa
15 tbsp shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Drop zucchini halves in boiling water and cook 1 minute. Remove from water.
In a large skillet brown the turkey and season with salt. When the turkey is browned, add onion, garlic, black beans, cilantro, serrano pepper, diced tomatoes, reserved zucchini and cumin. Mix well and simmer on low, covered for 20 minutes.
Remove lid, add corn and simmer an additional 5 minutes or until all the liquid reduces.
Place the salsa in the bottom of a large baking dish (or two medium size dishes) and place the hollowed out zucchini cut side up in the dish.
Using a spoon, fill the hollowed zucchini boats dividing the filling equally, about 1/3 cup in each, pressing firmly. Top each with 1 1/2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes until cheese is melted and zucchini is cooked through.
