Stuffed Zucchini Boats with Turkey topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 zucchinis (about 1.2 kg), halved lengthwise and seeds scraped out
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 450 g of ground turkey
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup lightly salted chicken broth
- 90 g feta, crumbled
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 cups fresh dill, tightly packed, chopped
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Sprinkle the zucchini halves with salt and black pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and turn them over to coat with oil. Arrange the zucchini cut-side down in a single layer. Bake until crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper; cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and chicken broth and stir. Cook until the sauce thickens, 4-5 minutes.
- Turn the zucchini boats cut-side up and fill with the filling, pressing it in. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until the zucchini and cheese are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the stuffed boats with yogurt and sprinkle with dill.
