Ingredients

    6 Green Peppers

Directions

Directions
*Preheat oven to 400F

*Cut thin slice from stem of each pepper; remove guts and rinse

*Cook peppers 5 minutes in enough boiling water to cover, drain

*Cook and stir onion and turkey in skillet until beef is light brown; drain

*Stir in rice, salt, garlic salt, diced tomatoes, and 1 cup tomato sauce (you want to keep some of the tomato sauce out of the mixture so you can coat the top of the peppers); heat though

*Stuff each pepper with beef mixture; stand upright in greased 8x8x12 baking dish

*Pour remaining sauce over peppers

*Cover and bake 1 hr to 1 hr 30 minutes

*Uncover, bake 15 minutes longer ( I go a bit longer because I like my peppers well done on the tops).
