Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add zucchini halves; cook until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Transfer zucchini halves to the prepared baking dish, cut-sides up.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  4. Add water and taco seasoning to the skillet; cook over medium-high heat until thickens and turkey coated, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, tomatoes and chiles, onion, and cilantro; cook and stir until peppers are softened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir sour cream and sour cream seasoning mix together in a small bowl until well blended.
  6. Spoon turkey mixture into hollows of zucchini halves using a slotted spoon; press firmly. Top turkey mixture with about ½ sour cream mixture; sprinkle with green onions, Muenster cheese, and Cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and zucchini is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Top with remaining ½ sour cream mixture.
