Notes
Use store-bought turkey sausage if you’re in a pinch.
Switch up the ingredients to include your favourite pizza toppings.
If you want your zucchini boats to be softer, cook them for 10-15 minutes before adding on the toppings.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 425° F or in the microwave.
