18 Delicious Healthy Snack Recipes

Looking for healthy snacks? These delicious healthy snack recipes are full of nutrients and energy to get you through the day.

Cinnamon Yogurt Fruit Dip

It’s one thing to eat healthy dinner recipes and lunch recipes and breakfast recipes, but what about everything in between? Having healthy snack recipes on hand for when hunger strikes is crucial! Alex and I have found that if we have healthy snacks stocked and on hand, it’s so much easier to choose those than an unhealthy alternative. But if our cupboard is stocked with potato chips and cookies: then of course we want those instead!

Healthy snacks…without a recipe!

Now, before we talk about healthy snack recipes: let’s acknowledge that the easiest snacks have no recipe! Here are some snacks that we like to eat in our household that don’t require a recipe. What are your favorites?

Ground Turkey And Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Ground Turkey And Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats

These Turkey and Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats are an easy, healthy weeknight dinner plus they reheat well for the perfect make-ahead dinner during the week.

Turkey And Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats | How to make healthy stuffed zucchini boats for a filling, delicious weeknight dinner. | A Sweet Pea Chef #sponsored

When I was a kid, we had a garden outside our kitchen where, for one summer, we grew zucchinis.

We may have grown them other years, but I can distinctly remember the garden for one specific zucchini season because the zucchini grew to be the size of watermelons.  Like giant, long watermelons that were bigger than your head.

Now, I have no idea how on earth the zucchinis grew to be so big, but they were still edible and tasted amazing.

My mom decided to turn them into zucchini boats because they were already essentially boats so why not?  We’d make a modified spaghetti with meat sauce, stuff the zucchinis, and it was absolute perfection.

Now, I haven’t been so lucky as to find giant watermelon-sized zucchini in the stores or farmers markets much as an adult, but I can still enjoy the same easy meal nonetheless.  In fact, these turkey and quinoa stuffed zucchini boats have become an easy weeknight meal my family and I enjoy and they use regular-sized zucchinis.

Five raw zucchinis lined up on a counter, ready to be sliced in half and stuffed with the turkey and quinoa filling.

HOW TO MAKE TURKEY STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

Let’s get straight into it and discuss how to make baked stuffed zucchini ‘cuz I’m super excited about this recipe. Out of all the zucchini boat recipes, this zucchini boat recipe is definitely my favorite.

-Turkey stuffed zucchini boats are the perfect mix of ground turkey zucchini boats and quinoa stuffed zucchini boats. <-LOVE.

To make this stuffed zucchini recipe:

preheat oven to 400 degrees F; scrape out the seeds and inner flesh of zucchini with a spoon; place zucchini cut-side up on a baking dish and season with salt and pepper; stuff the zucchini with the sauce and sprinkle with parmesan cheese; transfer to oven and bake.

These healthy stuffed zucchini boats are easy enough to make during the weeknight, but also work great reheated and when frozen. The healthy stuffed zucchini keep great in the fridge and reheat very well so I like prepping the zucchini boats ahead of time in meal prep containers for the busy weeks.  There is seriously NOTHING better than grabbing one of these babies out of the fridge on a busy weeknight and enjoying a hearty, healthy, and delicious meal.

And yep, you can totally freeze zucchini boats and have them as a yummy dinner anytime you want for those busy weeknights.  If you’re looking to freeze them, I recommend following these steps for the best results:

Allow the stuffed zucchini to cool completely (this will help avoid the zucchini getting soggy when reheated). Place the stuffed zucchini into an airtight freezer-safe container. If you need to stack them, you can place a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap in between the layers to keep them from sticking Remove the stuffed zucchini when you plan to eat them and thaw in the refrigerator.

The stuffed zucchini boats can be frozen for up to 4-6 months.

IS ZUCCHINI GOOD FOR YOU?

Let’s go over all the reasons why these stuffed zucchini boats are a great healthy meal by discussing the ingredients.

The main ingredient – zucchini.

Is zucchini good for you? Yes, it is!

Zucchini is…

high in folate; fiber; omega-3 fatty acids; protein; vitamins; minerals. Turkey and quinoa stuffed zucchini boats have been topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese and are ready to be placed into the oven to bake.BENEFITS OF TURKEY

I love combining quinoa with ground turkey because it provides two forms of healthy and lean high protein into the recipe. They work so well together in the filling and make the boats a yummy better-for-you weeknight meal, which is awesome. Quinoa and ground turkey are both lean proteins and I’m sure you already know how amazing quinoa is. I discussed it many times here, on the blog. So let’s talk about the benefits of turkey instead.

Turkey…

is a great source of protein; is a rich source of niacin; is a rich source of vitamin B6; contains vitamin B12; contains zinc; is low in fat.

For all these reasons plus how easy these zucchini boats are to make, you’ve got yourself one super awesome weeknight dinner.

HOW TO COOK QUINOA

To make these zucchini boats healthy, you need lean turkey, sauce, and cooked quinoa. If you don’t know how to cook quinoa, follow these easy steps:

Combine quinoa with low sodium chicken broth (or other liquid, water works too) in a saucepan. The ratio is 1 cup of uncooked quinoa to 2 cups of broth or another liquid. Bring the broth and quinoa to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer the quinoa until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork. HOW LONG TO COOK STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

If you want to avoid the soggy mess that sometimes happens when you make stuffed zucchini boats, bake the zucchini boats with ground turkey just until zucchinis are tender.

Tender not mushy, ok? You want to avoid the mushiness at all costs. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

The turkey and quinoa stuffed zucchini boats have been baked in the oven and are ready to eat.Close up shot of the cooked turkey and quinoa stuffed zucchini boats that are barked and ready to eat, still in the casserole dish.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS

For a light dinner, these stuffed zucchini boats are filling and satisfying on their own. However, after a long busy day, you might need something extra alongside them. I know I do. Wondering what to serve with stuffed zucchini boats? Try:

whole wheat bread; a side salad – warm spinach salad or a fresh greens salad; whole wheat pasta with a marinara sauce; for a low-carb meal, opt for roasted veggies or fresh veggies.

Ground Turkey & Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats

These Turkey and Quinoa Stuffed Zucchini Boats are an easy, healthy weeknight dinner plus they reheat well for make-ahead dinners during the week.

3-4 large zucchini, (sliced in half, lengthwise) 1 tbsp. olive oil, (plus more to grease casserole dish) 1 yellow onion, (diced) 1 shallot, (minced) 1 lb. ground turkey 3 cloves garlic, (minced) 8 med. cremini mushrooms, (sliced) 1 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. dried basil 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. sea salt 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper 1 cup quinoa, (cooked*) 28 oz. crushed tomatoes 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese, (grated)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 9x13inch casserole dish with olive oil.

Using as evenly sized zucchini as possible so they cook evenly, slice off the ends, then slice them in half, lengthwise. Using a spoon, we’re going to carefully hollow out the inside of the zucchinis by scraping along the seeds and removing them. You want to remove all the seeds and then a little more to make them “boats.” Set the zucchini and removed seeds aside. Make sure to reserve the seeds and inner flesh of the zucchini because we’ll be adding it to the sauce.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the diced yellow onion and shallot to the oil and cook until it starts to sweat. Then, add the ground turkey to the pan. Break the turkey into crumbles and cook until the meat is browned well.

Add the scooped-out zucchini seeds to the pan, along with minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 6-8 minutes.  

Add cooked quinoa, dried oregano, basil, thyme, sea salt, and ground black pepper, and stir to combine.

Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine, then heat through.

Line the zucchini, cut-side-up, into the greased baking dish and lightly season with sea salt and black pepper.

Pour the meat sauce over the hollowed out zucchini “boats” and sprinkle lightly with the parmesan cheese.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.

To cook quinoa, the ratio is 1 cup of uncooked quinoa to 2 cups of liquid (I like to use low sodium chicken broth).  Bring the uncooked and liquid to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
