Ingredients

6 zucchini, ends trimmed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

Place zucchini in a large skillet with about 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Cook and stir turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and fire-roasted tomatoes. Simmer until spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir in cottage cheese until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Spoon turkey mixture on top and garnish with mozzarella cheese. Add a few red pepper flakes for extra kick.
