Stuffed peppers?

Hi everyone -

I want to make myself stuffed pepper tonight- I have peppers, some ground turkey, feta cheese cumbles, veggies, etc. but I'm looking for a good recipe. Anyone have a good, healthy recipe for the stuffing? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I brown the turkey and add some mushrooms and garlic. Cut the peppers in half and fill them with the turkey mix (makes 4). I top mine with organic tomatoes and cheddar cheese and bake them for a little while at 350.

Use Lean ground beef, whole grain rice and mix then stuff in peppers..then I cover with Hunts diced tomatos..I also am planning on trying this with cabbage rolls..but have not done yet...Good luck

I usually just do italian ground turkey sausage with some dice tomatoes and rice, stuff that into the pepper, put it into a pan, put some water into the pan, and throw it into the oven for 15-30 mins.

I use wild rice, a bit of extra lean ground beef, diced onions, minced garlic, canned diced tomatoes (or tomato paste if you don't like the chunks) & parmesan cheese in mine. Sometimes I'll dice up some fresh mushrooms to put in there too.

Delicious!

Thanks everyone. Sounds like my official plan is to brown up the turkey, add in a whole bunch of diced veggies, garlic and then stuff the peppers and bake them.

Do I have to cover the peppers, or just stick them in the oven?

I put mine in a pot with about an inch of water, cover and steam them til the pepper is soft.

This is what I ended up doing, and it came out AWESOME!!

1 red pepper- sliced in half and gutted

4 ounces of ground turkey (I used Perdue 93/7 ground turkey)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp EVOO
20 grams feta cheese
1 tbsp low-sodium ketchup
chopped tomato
chopped onion
chopped carrots
minced garlic
spices to taste (I used black pepper, italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley)

1. Cooked the stuffing in a frying pan until turkey is cooked and veggies begin to soften
2. Drop the pepper (cut in half and gutted) in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes
3. Remove pepper, and stuff with stuffing
4. Place stuff pepper halves in oven at 350* for about 40 minutes- I like my peppers still somewhat firm
5. With about 5 minutes left in the oven, add crumbled feta to the top of the peppers
