Zucchini is readily available throughout the year, but the squash is especially abundant from farmers markets and neighborhood gardens during the summer months. If you've had enough zucchini bread and have run out of creative ideas for your bumper crop, this easy main dish is an excellent option. Using turkey or chicken sausage keeps the dish light while a combination of tomatoes, bell peppers, and cheese gives it plenty of flavor and texture. Stuffed zucchini is a versatile dish as well and the recipe is easy to adjust for vegetarian family membersfill the zucchini with extra cheese and breadcrumbs or replace the protein with meat replacement crumbles, cooked pulses, or tempeh. Serve the zucchini boats with a tossed salad and some crusty bread for a hearty and satisfying meal.
