Ingredients

4 medium zucchinis halved and hollowed
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup bell peppers chopped
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until fragrant.
Add ground turkey and cook until browned. Stir in chopped bell peppers, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Spoon the turkey mixture into the hollowed zucchini halves.
Arrange the filled zucchini boats in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes or until the zucchinis are tender.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the zucchini boats and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Ensure zucchini boats are evenly cooked by not overlapping them in the air fryer basket.
Leftover zucchini boats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer for best texture.
