Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until onions are translucent and caramelized.

Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook for another 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Stir in the taco seasoning packet and mix well. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

6
Mix in drained and rinsed black beans and corn. Cook for another 5 minutes and then set the skillet aside.

Wash and dry zucchini, trim the stems and cut them in halves lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop the center flesh from each zucchini half, creating a boat.

Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet or in a baking pan.
