Turkey Zucchini Stuffed Jack O Lantern Bell Peppers Recipe By Tasty Recipes

JACK-O'-LANTERN STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and hold until the meat mixture is ready.
• In a cast-iron pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sweat until translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and cook until the mixture is reduced, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the cheese and stir until well incorporated. Stir in the cooked macaroni and season with salt and pepper.
• Cut each pepper around the stem and remove to create a lid. Remove the seeds and, if the peppers do not sit flat, trim the bottoms slightly; just be careful not to cut a hole in the bottom of the peppers. Using the tip of a small serrated knife, cut a face like a jack-o'-lantern into the side of each pepper.
• Fill the peppers with the beef mixture and put on a baking sheet with the lids on the side. Bake until the peppers are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.

SAUSAGE STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the zucchini boats: Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. With a small paring knife, cut into each zucchini half about ¼ inch from the outside edges and ¼ inch (6 mm) deep. Be careful not to cut all the way through the zucchini. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh of the zucchini inside the cuts, being careful not to scoop all the way through the squash. Dice the scooped-out zucchini flesh and set aside for the filling.
• Place the zucchini boats on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle evenly with the McCormick® Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up with a spatula, until beginning to brown.
• Add the onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, reserved zucchini flesh, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes, and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in the red wine vinegar, McCormick® Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick® Garlic Powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for 2-4 minutes more, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• Spoon the filling into the zucchini boats, dividing evenly.
• Transfer the zucchini boats to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender. Remove from the oven and turn the broiler on high.
• Sprinkle ¼ cup (25 g) mozzarella cheese over each zucchini boat, then return to the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

TURKEY & ZUCCHINI-STUFFED JACK-O'-LANTERN BELL PEPPERS RECIPE BY TASTY

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Lightly mix together the ground beef, egg, bread cubes, onion, tomato, garlic, chili sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
