Ingredients

4 zucchini’s

1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 small onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
30g white wine

3. Add turkey mince, breaking into pieces while cooking. Add rosemary, paprika and dried Italian herbs. Mic well and cook another minute.

4. Place turkey in a bowl, and once cool, mix in egg white, cheese, salt and pepper. Fill the zucchini boats with the turkey filling, pressing firmly and top with bread crumbs and nutritional yeast. Cover tightly with foil and bake 35 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 5 minutes.

5. Sprinkle toppings!
