What a wonderful neighbor, who brings you zucchini and recipes! I often trade herbs from my herb garden for tomatoes, asparagus, etc. from my friends' gardens. Now I think I'll type up some recipes to trade, also.

This recipe is going in my Favorites folder. It's terrific. The flavor combinations are perfect and the little boats come out so tender and juicy. I added some good dry bread crumbs with dots of butter just before putting in the over. The filling ingredients augment those tasty end-of-summer zuccs perfectly. Thanks Elise for passing it on.

Hi Elise - I made this last night and it was fantastic! My husband and 2 year old both liked it so well they had seconds!

I did substitute for the white wine, since I didn't have any on hand and used dried rosemary, but the dish was great.

I have only recently found your site, but I am cooking almost daily from it. Thank you so much for sharing!!

If you wanted to add some spaghetti sauce, you could put some in the bottom of the zuchinni boat before you put the meat mixture in.

I made this last night and it was absolutely fabulous! I am growing zucchini in my garden for the first time this year and will be making this recipe all summer!!

I found this recipe in Living a few years ago, for a Zucchini frittata.
First you sauté the zucchini with some onions and herbs (thyme and rosemary). Then you add 4 whisked eggs (I like to add some low fat cream) and you bake it in the oven. It's simple and healthy, so I made it quite often

I like to make stuffed zucchini with the same stuff used in stuffed green peppers.

Wow, this brings back such warm memories. My mother (now deceased) made a similar recipe except w/sausage when I was a child, shall we just say over 40 years ago. I loved it but it was not in her recipe files. Now, I can't wait to try this dish, have a great meal and re-live great memories. Thanks so much

I don't drink or use wine in any way, shape or form. Since this recipe calls for some, what can I use in place of the dry white wine? Any other liquid or is it just flavoring of some sort?

Just skip the wine or give the mixture a squirt (half a teaspoon) of lemon juice. ~Elise

What a perfect way to use one of our giant zukes as well as the Gimme Lean "fake" sausage left by my sister-in-law! We have a crazy looking vine which we thought was producing zukes, but instead, we are getting huge globular pumpkin-like green zukes..what in the heck are these?

I make Grilled Zucchini Boats stuffed with a feta, sun-dried tomato mixture. It is so delicious!

Cut full length zucchini and hollow out the middle a bit.

(Sorry don't have any measurements)

Mix together feta, sun-dried tomatoes chopped small, clove of garlic minced, sprinkle of italian seasoning, add olive oil as needed.

Mix together with a fork and fill hollowed out zucchini.

Place on a sheet of tin foil and grill for 20-25 min.

Just served this for dinner tonight. Didn't have any white wine so I used red and it was great. I will save the leftovers for another night. It is a great GF recipe, too.

I make a vegetarian version of this; stuffing my zucchinis with tomatoes eggplant and zucchini.

My boyfriend just love it (maybe because I got the recipe from his Mamman??). He even asked me to prepare this dish again, and voila, I will make it tonight :)

Your recipe (and that pic) looks amazing, I will try it without the meat and adding some of my recipe as well.

btw, I do also add water, but I also add a cup of uncooked rice (since the begining) so you have main dish done in just one baking dish, and the rice is *blessed* by the deli juices that comes from the zuchinni.

I had all the ingredients except the wine (which I just omitted) I used big yellow courgettes, fresh onions and garlic which I bought on the way home from a local farmer. Everyone loved it! I usually make my stuffed vegetables with a meat/rice mixture, but this was much tastier.

I so want to try this recipe,but since the recipe says it is Turkey sausage, but the recipe calls for just ground turkey, I would appreciate a verification.
Thank you, Jeanne

Turkey sausage is just ground turkey with herbs and seasoning. So we are using ground turkey with herbs in the recipe. You could substitute a favorite turkey sausage if you wanted to. ~Elise

I will try it this weekend, one dish with the ground turkey, and one with the meatless ground crumble.(Boca). We are having a cook out this week end, this dish would include everyone.

I made this recipe as written a couple of days ago...I ended up being the only one home for dinner so gave some to two friends of mine - and they - along with me - all loved it. It's prefect timing with zucchinis in abundance here and the flavor of the sausage stuffing is out of this world.

Thanks you.

Loved it. I didn't use the things as in turkey, but lean beef, added diced tomatoes/chilies, many yummy spices and then at the end added cheese on top. Also added butter around the edges of the zucchini so it would get nice and brown. Thanks for the idea. Many more in my mind. Seems a person can take this stuffed veggie to the limits.

I have been referring to your site for tried and true recipes for my garden's summer bounty. This meal turned out wonderfully! It was a big hit with friends who dropped by during dinner. Thanks for giving us ideas on how to use up those large zucchinis!

Delicious meal. Next time I am going to cut the salt in half, if not cut it out all together.

Made this for dinner last night per the recipe. It was delicious got rave reviews. One person thought it would make a great brunch dish.

Have you thought of stuffing acorn squash with this mixture? I have a stuffed acorn squash recipe that uses ground turkey. This mixture is much tastier. In the acorn squash recipe you cook split acorn squash in microwave in glass dish under plastic wrap, scoop out some of the squash and mix it with the turkey.

Will try it with the squash next--but love the zucchini just as is.

Sounds like a great idea! If you make it, please let us know how it turns out. ~Elise

This looks great...can't wait to try it.

I made this and used canned garlic roasted tomatoes, AWESOME!! I also used italian style ground turkey which gave it more flavor. The mixture didn't look all that appetizing initially but it tasted great!

I made this over the weekend. Absolutely Delicious! A great way to get a kiddo past zucchini :) He / We all devoured it. I will definitely be making again!
