4 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces sweet loose Italian sausage
8 ounces hot loose Italian sausage
1 clove garlic, minced

Categories     Lunch

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large zucchinis
½ tablespoon McCormick® Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb Italian turkey sausage meat, casings removed if necessary
½ medium yellow onion, diced
¼ cup green bell pepper, diced
¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 can tomato, diced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon McCormick® Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the zucchini boats: Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. With a small paring knife, cut into each zucchini half about ¼ inch from the outside edges and ¼ inch (6 mm) deep. Be careful not to cut all the way through the zucchini. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh of the zucchini inside the cuts, being careful not to scoop all the way through the squash. Dice the scooped-out zucchini flesh and set aside for the filling.
  • Place the zucchini boats on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle evenly with the McCormick® Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up with a spatula, until beginning to brown.
  • Add the onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, reserved zucchini flesh, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes, and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in the red wine vinegar, McCormick® Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick® Garlic Powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for 2-4 minutes more, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Spoon the filling into the zucchini boats, dividing evenly.
  • Transfer the zucchini boats to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender. Remove from the oven and turn the broiler on high.
  • Sprinkle ¼ cup (25 g) mozzarella cheese over each zucchini boat, then return to the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
