2 large zucchini
1+ lb. lean ground turkey
1/3 lb. ground Italian sausage
2-3 tbsp. tomato paste (get the good stuff, I always have this on hand for soups anyways)
Add to taste:
Oregano
Fresh basil
Pepper
Red chili pepper flakes (for spiciness)
Preheat the oven to 400F. Slice the zucchini length-wise and scoop out the insides with a spoon (be sure to leave the shells sturdy enough for filling later). Set aside zucchini "guts" and chop into smaller chunks for later.
Place the zucchini open side up on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes (continue to check though).
While the zucchini is baking, brown turkey and sausage in a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add water to keep from sticking to the pan, but don't add any cooking oils. After the meat is browned, add the remaining zucchini and seasonings (peppers) and cook on medium. Add the tomato paste last to thicken the juices.
Remove shells from the oven and fill with meat mixture. Serve.
Thats a cool idea.
