  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained and chopped

  3. Coarsely chop the pulp and set aside.
  4. Cook ground turkey, onion, and green pepper in a large skillet until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain.
  5. Stir in squash pulp and tomatoes.
  6. Place squash shells in a baking dish and spoon ground turkey mixture into shells.
