Ingredients:

Serving

4 red peppers
1 cup couscous , cooked in fat-free broth
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
6 oz low-fat turkey bacon, cooked and cut with kitchen shears into small pieces
4 oz shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
salt
crushed red pepper flakes
oregano
parsley

Directions:

Clean, cut and halve peppers; bake in 350 degree oven until tender (I prefer a water bath to maintain moisture).
Cook couscous according to package directions, using broth instead of water; add salt, pepper, oregano and parsley during this process.
Add all other ingredients and pack firmly into peppers.
Bake until tops are toasted and cheese is sufficiently melted.
