Italian Zucchini boats

Italian Zucchini Boats

This is something that I came up with for dinner last night.  It's really good and full of flavor.  This food breaks down to be 126 calories and 5g of fat per boat.  Enjoy!

  

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini

1 tbl of refrigerated Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp of garlic powder

dash of salt

1/4 tsp of pepper

3 tbl of tomato paste with added oregano, basil, garlic

1 egg white

1/4 cup of crushed Total whole grain cereal

2 tbl of grated Parmesan

1/4 green pepper

1/4 yellow onion

1 lb of ground turkey

1 cup of chicken broth

1. Dice onion and green pepper

2. Cook ground turkey, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, green pepper, and  onion together in a 1/4 cup of chicken broth.  Continually break up the ground turkey and stir around.  Once turkey and veggies are cooked throw in tomato paste and  mix around. 

4. Transfer to a bowl and mix in crushed cereal, egg white and Parmesan.

5. Cut zucchini in halves and scoop out center. 

6. Fill zucchini boats with turkey filling.

7. Transfer boats into a casserole pan 9 X 11.  Fill the bottom of the pan with the remaining chicken broth.  Once all boats are transferred in and not tipping over, throw aluminum foil over the top. 

8. Bake on 375 for 45 mins.  Let set 5 minutes before serving. 

9. I added parsley for decoration.  You could also top with fat free mozzarella for additional taste.  I'm just trying to stay away from cheese while dieting.  :)
