Ingredients

  • 6 zucchini, ends trimmed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Method

  • Place zucchini in a large skillet with about 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Cook and stir turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and fire-roasted tomatoes. Simmer until spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir in cottage cheese until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Spoon turkey mixture on top and garnish with mozzarella cheese. Add a few red pepper flakes for extra kick.
