Recipe: Stuffed zucchini - with turkey and vegetables. Zucchini boats stuffed with turkey and mushrooms Zucchini with minced turkey in the oven
August is the time for zucchini. And if the zucchini is grown with love at the grandmother's dacha, then it will certainly be horse-sized, with large hard bones and a hard peel! Well, what to do with such a zucchini? Of course, remove all unnecessary and cook zucchini mousse according to a trendy recipe. And you can make stuffed zucchini, as in childhood, close to the way in which they cooked in Soviet canteens. Only, of course, by removing from the recipe everything that somehow hints at the presence of fat.
The main thing in stuffed zucchini is the stuffing itself. It is based on turkey fillet - a very dietary and lean meat. Onions, fiber-rich celery stalks and carrots also get into minced meat. All this must be scrolled through a meat grinder with a grate with large holes so that the minced meat is not completely homogeneous.
A small nuance: the stalks (arrows) of garlic harvested in salt, also made by my grandmother, also go into minced meat. They give the minced meat a piquant taste, and we jokingly call this preparation "village capers")))
Add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of meat seasonings to the minced meat, which include black and red ground pepper, oregano, basil, nutmeg, dried dill, parsley and marjoram. Thoroughly knead the minced meat and beat it on the board so that it becomes more dense.
What a zucchini! Powerful and almost indestructible!
We clean it from the skin (in general, you don’t need to peel the zucchini, but in the case of a gardener’s gigantomania, it’s simply impossible to refuse this process!), Cut it into rings four to five centimeters wide and clean the insides with seeds from the rings.
We start each ringlet with minced turkey with vegetables, stuffing as tightly as possible. If the filling is not very tight, during baking, the minced meat can greatly decrease in size and fall out of the squash rim.
We cover the baking sheet with baking paper, which will allow us to bake without using a drop of oil, and place the stuffed zucchini on it.
We send a baking sheet with stuffed zucchini to an oven preheated to 200 degrees for forty minutes.
After this time, we take out the zucchini. They are almost ready.
Lubricate each zucchini on top with low-fat yogurt (in an authentic recipe, sour cream was always used for such purposes), and send it back to the oven for another ten minutes, turning on the convection - with its help, a nice and moderately crispy crust is formed on the zucchini.
The dish turns out to be very tasty, fragrant and rich in summer. Also following this recipe, which I offer you, you can cook stuffed peppers. But it is zucchini that have that softness and tenderness of taste.
Ingredients:
Three four zucchini, about 1 kg .;
Half a kilogram of minced turkey fillet;
One medium young carrot;
One young bulb;
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil;
Tomato paste 2 tablespoons;
Rice round 50 grams;
Salt, ground black pepper;
A tablespoon of granulated sugar;
Tablespoon of sour cream.
Transfer the minced turkey to any deep bowl, in which we will saturate this minced meat until half ready, i.e. add ingredients to it to achieve fullness of taste.
Before adding rice grains to minced meat, it should initially be slightly boiled. Pour cool water, put on fire, wait until the water with rice reaches a boil, boil for 5-7 minutes and strain the rice after cooking. Rinse under cold water. Then put in minced meat.
Pour ground black pepper here. The amount of pepper directly depends on your tastes - if you like it spicier, you can add more and vice versa. Also, do not forget to salt the minced meat, so it will not be insipid, but on the contrary, it will acquire all the piquancy.
I also recommend adding a tablespoon of sunflower oil, necessarily refined, to the minced meat. 
And a tablespoon of sour cream. It will give the minced meat a creamy taste, which will make the stuffed zucchini more refined in taste. 
Each zucchini is cut into four equal parts, but the number of parts directly depends on the size of your zucchini. And using a teaspoon, scrape out the insides of each piece. It is desirable not to damage the bottom of the zucchini and the side walls. If you want the skin of the zucchini to be less sensitive, then the zucchini can be scraped over the skin before cooking.
And fill the zucchini with minced meat. Put them in a cauldron or deep frying pan in which the cooking process will take place. 
Now let's prepare the dressing, or in other words, gravy for zucchini. It is necessary to finely chop the onion and fry in a tablespoon of vegetable oil. 
Grate the carrots on a fine grater and fry with onions. 
When the carrot-onion roast is ready, add two tablespoons of full tomato paste to it. 
Add water. The right amount of water is such that it covers all your stuffed zucchini on top. 
Taste, if necessary, add salt, as well as granulated sugar, in the amount of one tablespoon. Boil in a skillet for 5 minutes. 
Pour the zucchini with the resulting gravy, put them on the fire and simmer for half an hour. 
Serve hot with sour cream and herbs. Bon appetit. 
Cooking instructions
40 minutes + 5 minutes Print
1. Scroll the zucchini in a meat grinder (or rub it on a coarse grater). Salt, let stand for 10-15 minutes, so that the zucchini starts juice. Tool Mechanical meat grinder It is possible to make several kilograms of minced meat in a mechanical meat grinder, but, especially out of habit, this is fraught with shoulder dislocation. However, if large-scale tasks are not worth it, it is not so bad - at least it takes up much less space than any electric one.
2. Prepare minced meat from turkey fillet. Add finely chopped onion and garlic to the minced meat. Salt, pepper, add seasoning (I use seasoning for chicken). Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix, fry in a pan.

6. We put the form with the casserole in the oven preheated to 180 degrees. We leave for 30 minutes. Tool Oven thermometer How the oven actually heats up, even if you set a specific temperature, can only be understood with experience. It is better to have a small thermometer on hand, which is placed in the oven or simply hung on the grate. And it is better that it shows degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit simultaneously and accurately - like a Swiss watch. A thermometer is important when it is necessary to strictly observe the temperature regime: for example, in the case of baking.
7. Three cheese. We use any cheese according to your taste. I like parmesan. After 30 minutes, we take the casserole out of the oven, cover it with cheese and send it back to the oven for 5-7 minutes.
