Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers

GOOD EATS

An amazing twist on the classic stuffed pepper, to make sure your muscles are just as stuffed as you will be.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
     

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until it's no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
  5. Stir in the cooked brown rice, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
  6. Spoon the turkey and rice mixture evenly into each of the prepared bell peppers, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each stuffed pepper, covering the filling completely.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Once cooked, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
