LOW FAT STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS
I no longer remember where I got this recipe. I've had it for many years. I don't make it often because it's labor-intensive, but every time I make it, there are no leftovers. My squash-hating children love it. You can substitute multiple ingredients (e.g. ground beef for the turkey, onion for the scallions, marinara sauce for the tomato sauce, egg beaters for the egg, even yellow squash for the zucchini.)

Steps:
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp and chop it. (This is the hardest part, and I've never come up with an easy way to do it.).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. The add the zucchini pulp and saute another 3 minutes. Drain the mixture in a colander and set aside.
- In the same skillet saute the turkey until it is cooked. Drain it in the colander with the zucchini pulp.
- Pour the tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the zucchini boats in the sauce.
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey-zucchini mixture, the egg, breadcrumbs, crushed red pepper, basil and oregano, or any other combination of Italian seasonings you prefer. (You can also use seasoned breadcrumbs if you like.) Mix well and spoon into the zucchini boats. Top with parmesan cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 minutes more.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS
While any medium sized ripe zucchinis will do, use garden fresh ones if you have them. The tender sweet flesh of the zucchinis paired with the spiced meat and cool yogurt sauce will make you forget that this dish is less than 500 calories per serving!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season the zucchini halves with salt and pepper. Add to the baking sheet and turn to coat with the oil. Arrange the zucchini cut-side down in a single layer. Roast until crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook 30 seconds. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and chicken broth until combined. Cook until the broth is reduced to a thick sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the zucchini boats cut-side up and fill with the turkey mixture, packing it in. Sprinkle with the cheese and roast until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is softened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the zucchini boats with the yogurt mixture and top with the dill.
