Yesterday I decided to make some stuffed zucchini. I went to the grocery store to get some ground beef and sweet Italian sausage. When I got there, I started comparing prices and calories. Ground beef cost almost twice as much as ground turkey, in both the loose grind and Italian sausage. So, I bought the turkey.
Hubby was not sure that he would like the turkey, but I mixed it with onions, green pepper, garlic, ground tomatoes, sweet basil, a little Italian seasoning, and sea salt (just a pinch!). I had previously cut the zucchini in half, scooped out the middle, and then blanched the “boat” for 5 minutes in boiling water.
Then I put them in a baking dish and filled the center of the boat. I sprinkled Italian bread crumbs lightly over the top, covered the casserole with tin foil and baked for an hour at 350 degrees (f). I took off the foil, sprinkled fat free mozzarella cheese and baked another 10 minutes until the cheese browns up.
All I can say about last night dinner is yum! It is so nice when so much of the meal comes right out of your own garden.

Hubby and I have been enjoying cooking up the cherry jam. We made batch #2 yesterday and I think we can stretch it out and make a third batch tonight.
Cherry is my favorite so, I don’t mind spending the time, and walking around with stained fingers!
I am sooooo jealous, as I adore cherry jam!! Enjoy some for me, please!!! The zucchini boats sound delicious!!!
God bless~

That sounds delicious ! I replace more and more beef with chicken or turkey. Even sausages they are so good when they have the right spices.
Your meal sounds delicious. Way to go with the cherry jam too. I have never made jam.
