2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion grated
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley chopped
1 large egg
3 tablespoons catsup
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup Pecorino Romano cheese grated
1/4 cup dried plain bread crumbs
1 lb. ground turkey preferably dark meat
2 zucchini ends removed, halved lengthwise & crosswise
1 short orange bell pepper halved and seeded
1 short red bell pepper halved and seeded
1 short green or yellow bell pepper halved and seeded
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil into a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Whisk the onion, parsley, egg, ketchup, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese and bread crumbs. Mix in the turkey. Cover and refrigerate the turkey mixture.
Using a melon baller or spoon, carefully scrape out the seeds and inner flesh from the zucchini, leaving 1/8-inch-thick shells. Be careful not to pierce through the skin. Fill the zucchini and pepper halves with the turkey mixture, dividing equally and mounding slightly. Arrange the stuffed vegetables in the baking dish. Pour the marinara sauce over the stuffed vegetables.
Bake uncovered until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and a thermometer inserted into the filling registers 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the stuffed vegetables to a platter and serve.
