1 lb ground Turkey
1 cup cooked rice (I used brown rice, but you could use quinoa or couscous)
3/4 cup mushrooms (cooked with meat if you like)
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (i used homemade that my mom gave me)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
shredded low fat mozzarella

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Cut the tops off of peppers and clean out seeds and membranes. Place in baking dish that has a small amount of water on the bottom (it will keep the peppers from sticking and keep them moist).
3. Brown the ground turkey with the onion and garlic, crumbling the meat. Season with salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like (mrs. dash is always a great choice)
4. Mix turkey mixture, rice, parmesan cheese and almost all of spaghetti sauce in a bowl. Stuff an equal amount of filling into each pepper. Top with a spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on each pepper.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    I love stuffed peppers! You do not have to bake them, can cook them in the pot. I also add some parsley and sour cream after they are done (no cheese)...
