I tried out a new recipe tonight that I had found on pintrest, and it turned out SO good! Pretty low calorie too!



Recipe: http://www.heandsheeatclean.com/2012/05/clean-eat-recipe-turkey-stuffed-bell.html



Changes I made:

Red onion instead of scallions
I put a little bit more tomato sauce into the mix, and next time I would add even more
Put1/2 tablespoon of tomato sauce on top of each stuffed pepper
15 minutes before they were finished I added some cheese on top

With the cheese, each half pepper worked out to be 160 calories.

    I mak ea very similar recipe but mine are about 250-260 calories. How do you get yours to only 160 with the cheese? I LOVE stuffed peppers!!!

    I make this recipe: http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2007/08/06/continuing-the-mediterranean-tour/

    I substitute lean ground turkey, quinoa and lighten up on the cheese a little. They come out to around 430 calories for a whole stuffed pepper but one pepper is enough for dinner. I cook the quinoa in chicken broth for some added flavor. So delicious!

    Also highly recommend trying quinoa if you haven't already, it's so good.
