"Stuffed Zucchini Boats"

So, thanks to my sweet grandmother, I have several GIANT zucchini and decided to try some new recipes with these bad boys. And thanks to pinterest, I got some very good ideas and found one that I could put my own spin on so that my entire brood could enjoy :) It's a very simple recipe with few ingredients. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Ingredients

• Large zucchini
• 1lb lean ground turkey
• 1 cup of cooked brown rice
• 1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil
• 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 1 tsp chopped garlic

Preheat oven to 375

1. Wash zucchini, cut in half (lengthwise)
2. Microwave 3-5 minutes, scrape and hollow out inside with a spoon
3. Saute garlic in about a tablespoon of olive oil, add and brown meat
4. Add and combine the remaining ingredients (I left about 2 tablespoons of cheese to sprinkle on top)
5. Stuff zucchini boats, sprinkle remainder of cheese on top and roast for 20-30 minutes

I was so hungry while making these I completely forgot to take pictures along the way :/

This is the finished product just before I devoured it :)
