This is a healthy spin of my other stuffed pepper recipe. I have made this for many who are on they diet I am on and they love it. Ingredients:
4 large bell peppers, pitted and washed |
1 lb ground turkey, lean |
1 cup brown rice, uncooked |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
1 teaspoon basil, dried |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon thyme, dried |
1 tablespoon cumin |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, no salt added |
1/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.
2. Brown turkey with onions and garlic.
3. Add to rice.
4. Add seasonings,herbs, tomato sauce and water to rice and meat mixture.
5. Heat on low, covered, until all is hot.
6. In large boiling pot, add salt to water (enough to cover peppers) and add bell peppers. Cook about 10-15 minutes until they are starting to soften. (cook longer for a more tender pepper).
7. Drain peppers.
8. Put hot mixture into hot peppers.
9. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. (You can top with cheese but it will change nutritional values).
