1. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a teaspoon, hollow out the center of each zucchini. Lightly brush the tops with one teaspoon of olive oil then place them skin side down on a baking pan
2. Next warm the tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and brown Then add corn, salsa, and beans, s well as the chili powder and cumin. Stir everything together and continue to cook for about 5 minutes
