Italian Turkey-Stuffed Zucchini
- 2 medium zucchini
- Olive oil-flavored vegetable cooking spray
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 pound freshly ground raw turkey
- 1 ounce lean cooked ham, chopped
- 1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Asiago cheese, divided
- 1 cup commercial low-sodium spaghetti sauce
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, leaving stems intact. Carefully remove pulp, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Dice pulp, and set aside; reserve shells.
- Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add zucchini pulp, onion, and garlic; saute 5 minutes. Transfer zucchini mixture to a medium bowl, and set aside.
- Combine turkey and ham in skillet; cook over medium heat until turkey is browned, stirring until it crumbles. Combine turkey mixture, zucchini mixture, breadcrumbs, basil, peppers, and 1 teaspoon cheese, stirring well. Spoon turkey mixture evenly into reserved zucchini shells. Spoon spaghetti sauce into bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish; place stuffed zucchini shells over sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over zucchini shells. Cover and bake at 350u0b0 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes.
