Looking for dinner inspiration? These South-of-the-border-inspired stuffed zucchini are rich in flavor thanks to seasoned tomato sauce and a Mexican cheese blend. Serve with chips, guacamole and salsa, or a roasted vegetable soup spiked with cilantro. Summer squash can be used instead of the zucchini, if you prefer, and leftover cooked turkey breast can be swapped for the chicken.
