Today we’re making a healthy but delicious Stuffed Zucchini Boats recipe with Balsamic Reduction. This is a great way to use up fresh zucchini you may have in your garden, or simply to add a bit more greens to your diet.

I filled these stuffed zucchini boats with a delicious blend of sautéed Italian turkey sausage, garlic, oregano and shredded mozzarella, then drizzled them with a reduced Balsamic glaze.
