Can I change out the mild Italian sausage for other protein?

There are great alternatives to using Italian pork sausage. Italian ground chicken and seasoned Italian ground turkey meat are great substitutes. Shorten the oven bake time by pre-cooking the protein.

Ingredients

• 1 large zucchini
• 2 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 oz. fully cooked mild Italian sausage
• 3 tbs. Foraged & Found Sea Asparagus Pesto
• 1/2 roasted red bell pepper, jar style, chopped

Instructions

1. Trim the stem end off of the zucchini, cut in half lengthwise
2. and scoop out some of the inside by running a spoon down

4. Combine the remaining ingredients into a bowl and stuff
5. into the zucchini halves. Place in an oven safe baking dish

Notes

Bake time may differ depending upon the size of the zucchini. Since the Italian Sausage is already cooked you are looking to heat the filling until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is softened.
