Ground Turkey Zucchini Boats

• 6 zucchini, ends trimmed
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

1. Place zucchini in a large skillet with about 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
2. Cook and stir turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and fire-roasted tomatoes. Simmer until spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir in cottage cheese until heated through, about 3 minutes.
3. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Spoon turkey mixture on top and garnish with mozzarella cheese. Add a few red pepper flakes for extra kick.
