I tried this last night, and it was divine. Definitely a "comfort food" kind of meal. I really don't even like zucchini but I loved this, and I promise you will too.
Step One: Gather your ingredients. You will need mini zucchini, pizza flavored meatless burger, light mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce. All these ingredients can be bought at Trader Joes—that is where I do most of my shopping. If you can't find the pizza burger, you can use any meatless burger or ground turkey.
Ingredients:
1 Trader Joe's Pizza Meatless Burger
1/4 cup of marinara sauce
1 ounce of light mozzarella cheese
about 12-15 mini zucchini
1 teaspoon of olive oil (not pictured)
Step Two: Pour about a teaspoon of olive oil into the bag and steam the mini zucchini in the mircrowave or on the stove.
Step Three: Cut the ends off of the zucchini and then take a sliver off of one side. Just cut the skin mainly.
Step Four: While letting the zucchini cool down, go ahead and crumble up the burger. It really just falls apart.
Step Six: Add the marinara sauce and mix it up.
Step Seven: Scoop out a bit of the zucchini flesh. You can add the it to the meat if you like or just save it for something else.
Step Eight: Pour the burger mix into each zucchini "boat" and then sprinkle the cheese onto them.
Step Nine: Cook it in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds—basically until the cheese melts. Just keep an eye on it. And then enjoy!
That's it! It is a fairly easy recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
