Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay zucchini halves on a rimmed baking sheet or in a casserole dish; set aside.
Add oil to a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, add ground turkey and cook 4-5 minutes, or until partially browned, breaking up meat into pieces with a spoon as it cooks.
Reduce heat to medium and add all vegetables, plus salt and pepper. Cook 6-7 minutes, or until onions are translucent and vegetables are softened. Taste and add more seasoning, if desired.
Spoon mixture evenly into prepared zucchini boats. Top with feta cheese, if using, then bake for 15-18 minutes, or until zucchini is cooked.
