Introduction

A simple mix of two different recipes that made such a delicious stuffed pepper, I had to share. A simple mix of two different recipes that made such a delicious stuffed pepper, I had to share.

Minutes to Prepare: 15

Minutes to Cook: 20

Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

3 green bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeded.

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (Italian seasoned)

1 lb ground turkey 93% lean

1/3 to 1/2 cup brown rice (uncooked)

1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped onion

1.5 tsp Worcestershire (lee & perrins)

1/2 cup shredded colby-Jack cheese, divided into two 1/4 cups

1/2 cup water

1 tsp Italian seasonings

1 tsp garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Makes 5 or 6 1/2 shell stuffed peppers. (depending on size of peppers)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

For al dente peppers (preferred), par boil 3 minutes and drain. For crunchy, skip that step.

In skillet, cook onion and turkey until turkey is browned and onion is clear. Drain any excess fat.

Add water, the whole can of tomatoes (juice, too), rice, Worcestershire, seasonings. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cover 15-20 minutes.

After 15-20 min (rice is cooked), remove cover and allow any additional liquids to reduce on low heat, stirring occasionally until all gone. This really intensifies the flavors.

Remove from heat and mix in 1/4 cup of cheese.

Stuff peppers, place in a baking dish and cover with remaining cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and just browned. Serve immediately.

**I tend to spice mine up a bit, with either Cajun seasoning, or red pepper/cayenne. I hope you enjoy this as much as my wife and i do.

Awesome dish. It took me longer than normal time listed to make stffing ( like 45 mins), because I got a longer cooking rice which took longer to cook. I also added cayenne pepper to spice it up, and since my peppers were huge I only came out with 4 servings. Certainly will make again. - 3/21/12

Both my husband and myself really enjoyed this recipe. I did have an issue with the rice though. It took me 40 minutes to cook and it was still a little crunchy after adding close to a cup more water. I don't know if I misunderstood the directions... But still very yummy! Will make again! - 8/17/11

Loved this recipe...I did add a little pork sausage and changed to a can of rotel. Also added a can of chopped green chilis so nutritional info is different. Awesome. - 6/13/11

Best stuffed peppers we have ever had! Perfectly seasoned and just spicy enough! My DH ate the leftovers for lunch and said that it was his favorite thing ever, besides me. Lol! Will definitely make this regularly! Thanks for the recipe! - 3/8/11

Great recipe tried them with ground turkey and had to substitute an ingredient or 2 but overall still delicious. Will try ground beef next time I'm not used to the taste of ground turkey. Had enough left over to put in the freezer hard to cook just for one. Thanks for sharing. - 9/13/09

If you make this, use "minute" rice or pre-cook the rice. There is something about using long-grain rice with the other ingredients... the rice absorbs the liquid very slowly, or else the amount of water specified needs to be adjusted 3X upward. - 9/24/18

I forgot to rate this one. Followed most of directions but used beef, tomato sauce and white rice. I was too lazy to thaw out turkey and cook then brown rice. Posting this as a note to self to make it this following directions next time. - 9/14/18

I have made this dish with or without the meat and both are simply delish and a filling entrée. Loving it! Hadn't tried it length-wise nor had I boiled the peppers first. My "spice of choice" is jalapenos! Great ideas. - 8/1/17
