If you or someone you know has a garden you probably have zucchini coming out of your ears right about now! That means you’re going to need some great zucchini recipes.

Last summer I shared my {Secret Ingredient} Zucchini Bread and Baked Zucchini Fries {with garlic aioli} which are both family favorites.

After trying these Turkey Zucchini Poppers out last week we have a new recipe to add to that list.

Both kids absolutely loved these little guys, gave them the thumbs up and then proceeded to wipe out every last one!
