Turkey and Cheddar Stuffed Zucchini Boats 
(Serves: 4 servings)

21 Day Fix container amounts:
1 1/4 green (zucchini, onion, green pepper)
1/2 red (turkey)
1 blue (cheese)
1 teaspoon (olive oil)
Ingredients: 
2 zucchini (4 green)
½ pound ground turkey (1 red)
 ½ green pepper (1/2 green)
½ onion (1/2 green)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 blue)
4 teaspoons olive oil
Optional toppings: basil and paprika

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Slice zucchini evenly in half. Scoop out the insides with a spoon, leaving a thin layer of the "meat" for structure. Add the scooped out "meat" into a bowl and set aside for later
3. Place the zucchini boats on a foil lined baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 10 minutes

Meanwhile, prepare your filling- 
1. In a large skillet over medium high heat, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, your ground turkey, and your turkey sausage (casing removed)
2. Season with salt and pepper
3. Break apart with your spoon and brown (about 5 minutes)
4. When the meat is brown, remove to a plate and set aside In the same pan, add 2 more teaspoons of olive oil and your onion, green pepper, and garlic - Season with salt and pepper - Cook until veggies have softened (about 3 minutes) - Add the turkey back in with the veggies along with the zucchini meat you set aside earlier, tomato paste, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined - season to taste with salt and pepper Turn off the heat and add most of your cheese - set some aside to sprinkle on top of the stuffed zucchini boats - stir until totally combined

Assembly: 
1. Divide the filling into four sections (it is easiest to just section it up in your pan)
2. Stuff each zucchini boat with the filling - pressing it down if it is too heaping
3. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each stuffed zucchini, and bake for 10 minutes 4. Remove from the oven and serve!
