We had a monster zucchini from my in-laws garden. I would recommend using smaller zucchini's to cut down on cooking time as these were in the oven over an hour....
I washed the zucchini, cut the ends off and cored it. I then sprinkled Italian Seasoning over both halves (zucchini can be a little bland....)
I browned a pound of ground turkey with a diced onion and seasoned with more Italian seasoning. I then added seasoned diced tomatoes and a few large scoops of browned rice and let it simmer. It was still lacking so I grabbed a pint of seasoned stewed tomatoes that mom and I canned last fall from the pantry. I would adjust this a bit depending on how much zucchini I'm cooking. We usually cook about 3 smaller zucchini.
As you can see, these are loaded down!
A 375* oven for 35-45 min should do the trick. Once the zucchini are cooked through (pliable when squeezed with tongs) add mozzarella cheese and return to oven (or broiler) until melted and/or browned.
We always have enough for leftovers. I have even taken in enough to share with my co-workers the next day. I've considered trying these on the grill... hmmmm. Enjoy!

Kels, those look delicious and I must say, I could not have created that to save my life!
