    This recipe was inspired by my Sante Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers which worked wonderful as a filling for these zucchini boats! If youre like me and have so much zucchini you dont know what to do with it, check out 35 WW Zucchini recipes which includes a few other stuffed zucchini boat varieties.,This idea is perfect for low-carb and gluten-free diets and yes, yellow squash would also work well.,I often get asked this question and the answer is yes. Unlike other squashes, the skin of the zucchini is very thin and tender and even more so once cooked. Not only that but its super high in antioxidants that are great benefits for your eyes, skin and heart.,Cheesy Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats,Veggie Lasagna Zucchini Boats,Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats,Colombian Style Zucchini Rellenos,Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini
