STUFFED ZUCCHINI
This is a light summer meal that you can also make with yellow or gray squash. I use Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles to save time when I make this You can also stuff the squash in the morning and cover it without the water until the evening. I usually serve it with rice or pasta.
