SAUSAGE STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS RECIPE BY TASTY

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.
