This recipe is from a dear friend of mine. We had it one evening a while ago when we went to visit them at their house. I have been wanting to give the recipe a try myself as I tried a few other stuff pepper recipes but this one was my favorite. I did alter the recipe a bit but the flavor is still the same and it is oh so delicious! Best of all it is all good for your ingredients too so it can be put in my healthy recipe box!!

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped finely
1 small zucchini, chopped finely
1 garlic clove, minced
Sea Salt
ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped finely
1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves, chopped finely
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
