Train potty

Like I mentioned last week, our garden is doing great and I have zucchini & squash coming out my ears! I have been looking for ideas for recipes that include zucchini & squash and a reader mentioned zucchini boats. Great idea! I decided to do my own spin on them. They were delicious!

And, if you are looking for a low carb alternative, this is for you!

 Here is what you need:

 - 1 lb of Ground Turkey (I use Jenni-O brand)

- 4 or 5 zucchini or squash

- 1 jar of pasta sauce

- 1 can of diced tomatoes

- 1 Tablespoon of Minced Garlic

- 1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning

- Mozzerella Cheese

-Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

Take your ground turkey & sprinkle it with the minced garlic & Italian Seasoning

Get it all cooked up & drain the fat (there won't be much fat at all)

 Once your meat is cooked, add the jar of pasta sauce & diced tomatoes to the pan:

I also chopped up some basil from my garden because why not?!

 Let your sauce simmer on low for  15-20 minutes:

  Slice them the long way, like so:

 Then scoop out the insides:

 Lay them on a cookie sheet (I also use parchment paper or my Silpat). I use a cookie sheet that has edges so they don't roll off!

 Fill each "boat" with sauce:

 Yum.

 Sprinkle some Parmeasan on them:

 Then cover them with Mozzeralla cheese:

 Now they are ready to go in the oven!

 Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes

This makes enough sauce to make 14 zucchini/squash boats.

I made 8 last week & then froze the sauce and made more this week.

I originally made these so that I could have them for lunches. I wasn't sure if Kevin like them.

 He tried one with dinner and LOVED them!

These were seriously SO good.

 I am so excited to have another recipe that uses zucchini or squash! 

And, if you are looking for a low carb meal, these are perfect. 

I am a carb junkie, but I really loved them.

2 of them were super filling! 

Enjoy!
