Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats

4-5 medium zucchinis
1/2 cup salsa
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 small onion, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
4 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup water
1/2 shredded cheese

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Preheat oven to 400. Place 1/4 cup of salsa at the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish.

Cut your zucchinis in half length wise and hollow them out. Chop up the scooped out flesh and set aside. Drop zucchini halves in the boiling water and boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from water and set aside.

Brown turkey in a large skillet. When it is no longer pink, add your spices and stir together. Then add your zucchini flesh, onion, bell pepper, tomato sauce and water. Stir and cover, simmer on low for 20 minutes.

Scoop meat out evenly into your zucchini skins and sprinkle cheese on top. I baked it uncovered for about 10 minutes, until the cheese was melted.

garnish with your remaining salsa and onion or cilantro if you would like. Dis was pretty good if I do say so myself.
