FAQS ABOUT HEALTHY STUFFED ZUCCHINI:

  • Can I freeze this?  No. Especially since the zucchini will turn to mush.  However, I think it’s perfectly fine to precook the meat for stuffing along with the spices. Then, when you do make the recipe, simply add the zucchini pulp to the meat mixture and continue with cooking the zucchini shells.
  • If you prefer another meat flavor besides Italian, you can make the ground turkey breast Taco flavored for Taco Tuesday.  Substitute the mozzarella cheese for fat free shredded cheddar too.  Switch the Italian seasonings out for a packet of Taco Seasoning.

I hope you make this quick to become family favorite recipe for Healthy Italian Stuffed Zucchini soon.  Enjoy!
