Feeds you and one hungry husby or you and lunch for the week ;)
You'll need:
1lb lean ground turkey
1 jar hot marinated artichoke hearts
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/4 cup fat free or low fat cream cheese
4 med/large zucchini
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Make it!
Pre heat oven to 350. Halve your zucchini and scoop out the center of each half making little boats.* Place in a oiled (spray or olive oil) baking dish and bake for 7 mins. While the zucchini is in the oven, cook the turkey in a non stick pan. While the turkey is cooking, fork the artichokes out of the jar and reserve the liquid for later; chop the spicy artichokes and add them to the turkey. Mix together then add the juice from the 'chokes and the 1/4 cup of cream cheese. Once everything has melted and looks creamy and delish add the tomatoes and a sprinkle of sea salt or whatever you have. Your oven timer went off at some point while the turkey was getting ready... Scoop the turkey into the zucchini boats. You'll probably have more than enough turkey mix, I just added it all across the top of them all. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 mins. Take out of oven, sprinkle boats with cheddar cheese... Sprinkle... Not smother; turn broiler on hi an broil for about 3mins, just so cheese is melted.
I served 2 per person thinking I'd have left overs however, to my delight, the husby ate them all leaving not a left over in sight. You can top with salsa or sour cream or avo; swap the cheddar for mozzarella and sprinkle with crushed red and parm. Next time I'm gonna add kalamatas and feta.
*save those zucchini centers for muffins, bread or baby food :)
Enjoy
