Stuffed Bell Peppers

A few weeks ago I made these stuffed bell peppers and they were amazing! The husband and I couldn't get enough. Plus, they were super easy to make and are healthy. And despite my crummy iphone photo, they look quite impressive too! So, I thought I'd share the recipe with all of you. 

Here's what you'll need:

- 6 large bell peppers

- 1 lb lean ground turkey

- 1 cup cooked brown rice

- 1 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp garlic salt

- 15 oz canned tomato sauce

- 1/2 cup chopped onion

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used skim)

Directions

- Cut off the top of the peppers, clean out the seeds and wash them really well.

- Cook peppers in boiling salt water for 5 minutes, then drain.

- Cook the turkey and onion until onion is tender. Drain off any fat. 

- Stir in salt, garlic salt, cooked rice, and 1 1/2 cups of the tomato sauce. Heat through.

- Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture.

- Stand peppers upright in a baking dish.

- Pour remaining tomato sauce over the peppers.

- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes covered, then uncover and top peppers with shredded mozzarella and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes

- Enjoy! I served ours with yummy cornbread.
