- 2 medium zucchini squash
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1 lb ground lean turkey
- 1 1/2 cup prepared marinara sauce look for one without added sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.

- Meanwhile, as the turkey cooks cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop the seeds and center out of each zucchini half, leaving about ¼ inch thick zucchini boat.
