Step 1
First halve each zucchini and using a spoon, scoop out the inside of the zucchini. Creating a “boat” to stuff with our ground turkey! -
Step 2
Arrange them on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes until they start to become tender. -
Step 3
While those bake, in a large skillet over medium high heat, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. -
Step 4
Brown the turkey until nearly cooked through. Stirring occasionally. -
Step 5
Stir in the grated onion, garlic, salt, and lemon pepper, and oregano. -
Step 6
Once the zucchini boats have baked, stuff them each with equal amounts of the turkey filling. Top each boat with a couple tablespoons of feta cheese as well as 1 tablespoon each of chopped sundried tomatoes. -
Step 7
Return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. -
Step 8
During this 2nd baking time, in a small bowl or blender cup, combine all ingredients for the dressing. -
Step 9
Whisk or blend until well combined. -
Step 10
Remove the turkey boats from the oven and serve with the dressing. Enjoy! -
Step 11
Save any turkey that didn’t make it into the boats for dinner later in the week!
