I made it with bell pepper, carrot, tomatillo, a little red cabbage, and a little onion, and italian sausage. I also included the bread crumbs and egg. I love the fresh taste of the zucchini--and otherwise, not a big zucchini fan. I cooked the extra stuffing around the zucchini halves. My son is not a big vegetable eater and I guessed that he would omit the zucchini shell and just eat the stuffing. Thanks! Very good and adaptable recipe.

I made this twice last week. The first time, I followed your recipe exactly. The second time I omitted the bread crumbs, chopped & added in the zucchini, added a little extra olive oil & then served it over soba noodles (all I had in my pantry that evening). Great, fast, nutritious dinner for a work evening. Very flavorful. This will be a repeat recipe for my family. Hi FormerChef!

Just had the girlfriends over and made 1/2 veggie and 1/2 with turkey sausage. It was a big hit and I just emailed everyone a copy. Thank you for posting this - zucchini is an amazing vegetable in its abundance and ideal for a time of being mindful of where our money goes. Loved it!!

Cook the sausage all the way through in a pan. Set aside to cool." It's right in between instructions for dicing the onions and cooking the vegetables in a pan. You're right about the oven temp. I left that out of the blog version and only added it in after another commentor let me know. I need to add in the temp (350 degrees) into the print version. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Hopefully it will still cook ok, just make sure the stuffing is cooked all the way through and at least 165 degrees inside. Let me know how it comes out. Hi Kay-

It doesn't say to cook the sausage first. I did my stuffing without first cooking the sausage. Hopefully it will come out okay. Also it did not say what temp to set the oven. I don't have a computer in my kitchen and just used the print copy. There are a couple of omissions in the printable version. It doesn’t say to cook the sausage first.
