Ingredients

    4 large green bell peppers
    1 cup of cooked brown rice
    1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
    2 garlic cloves
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1 can diced tomatoes (with italian seasoning is better)
    tomato sauce - enough to cover the bottom of a casserole dish
    2 tbsp canola oil
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place in a casserole dish - the bottom of the dish should be covered with a thin layer of tomato sauce.
In a pan, add canola oil and sautee the onions until translucent (5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the ground turkey and brown.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground turkey, brown rice, and diced tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Scoop mixture into each bell pepper half.

Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. If desired, uncover, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, and bake an additional 5 minutes.

    Easy to make. I like spicy food so I choose a can of dice tomatoes with jalapeno peppers and used a spicy mexican style tomato sauce. Will make this again & again. - 1/28/09

    We love them. However, in place of turkey, I grilled a couple of chicken breasts and diced them up. - 5/12/08

    I tried this recipe and was a hit! Not only did my boyfriend enjoy it with me, but my roommates couldn't resist a taster as well! We like things a little spicier around here, so I cooked the turkey meat with some taco seasoning (20 cals for the packet)! Great flavour!! - 8/3/08

    Excellent!!! The filling could be cut in half and you'd still have plenty, but I liked being able to freeze the surplus for a future meal. I'll either use that in peppers again, or as a tortilla/lettuce wrap, in bread bowls, or ??? It was so good! - 4/8/08

    I used red peppers (on sale this week) and they turned out really well. Added a little bit of dried red pepper to spice them up. Can't wait for left-overs in a few days! - 3/9/09

    I made this tonight with red bell peppers. I added some italian seasoning. My husband and I both thought it was delicious, and I think it will become a regular in our household :) I had enough of the filling for another meal. I think I will add black beans and serve it later in the week. - 11/4/09

    I love stuffed peppers, & I really liked this healthier version of my usual recipe. Added a little bit of oregano to the mix & topped with more tomato sauce & shredded mozzarella cheese. - 2/11/09

    Absolutely delicious! We chopped up more onions to include and also added some mushrooms and a cup of spinach (it wilted and mixed well into the mix) and it was awesome! Will make again for sure! - 12/5/10

    I used a mix of red, yellow and orange peppers. I added crushed red pepper in the stuffing mix then in the tomato sauce for the bottom of the pan, I added cayenne pepper. Also I poured some of the sauce on top of the stuffed peppers. Nice and spicy, but still can taste the other flavors. - 10/19/09

    I made this last night and it was delicious! I added mushrooms to the mix and used tomatoe sauce instead of diced tomatoes and just added italian seasonings to it. I also parboil my peppers before I fill and bake, just seems to give a better texture that my family likes. - 8/27/09

    I made this today. It was good. I added a few crushed chiles for a little extra zip. I always forget how lean ground turkey is until I fry it up. - 8/10/08

    Wanted to use homegrown peppers before they went soft, so I tried this recipe. Used ground (white) chicken because I didn't have turkey. Added Worcestershire sauce for a little spice. Will make again! - 9/26/12
