Another AWESOME meal tonight; and to top it all off the kids LOVED it! There are two parts to this recipe, the Zucchini boats themselves and then the sweet potato tots. I modified the original recipe I found by adding some lean ground turkey for more protein and added in just a bit of Feta and Cheddar Cheese to give it some additional flavor! If you are doing 21 Day Fix Extreme you can drop the cheese from this recipe.
These recipes were also great for our 2 year old and 1 year old. They particularly loved the sweet potato tots with some organic ketchup for dipping!
