These stuffed Zucchini’s turned out so delicious! I used ground turkey, mushrooms, onions and left over yams from my Savory sweet potato pancakes I made the other day
HERE 1. Cut zucchini in half and scoop out seeds and pulp..reserve flesh in another bowl.
2. In a small skillet brown ground turkey (I added in a little turkey sausage for extra flavor)
3. In another skillet sauté onions, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini flesh, fresh parsley, salt, pepper and other seasonings to taste.
4. Add in left over shredded cooked sweet potato and cook until heated through. Add in cooked ground turkey/ sausage mixture.
5. Fill the zucchini with meat and vegetable mixture. Top with shredded parmesean cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 min.
Serve with a spinach salad…everyone loved it!!

Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
