Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe

Last night I wanted to make something new and yummy... After looking in my refrigerator I decided I would find a good stuffed bell pepper recipe. Since we are not eating red meat I needed to find something with ground turkey or chicken. I looked on www.skinnytaste.com and WOALAAA I found it. So here it is...

Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

- 1lb 95% ground turkey meat

- 1 minced garlic

- 1/4 minced onion

- 1tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

- 1tsp garlic powder

- 1tsp cumin powder

- salt to taste *I left this out*

- 3 large sweet bell peppers, washed and with seeds out *mine were small peppers*

- 1 cup fat free chicken broth *I used water*

- 1/4 cup tomato sauce

- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice *I used brown rice*

- olive oil spray *I used coconut oil*

- 1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheese *Rob used it not me*

Here is what I did...

-I put about 1tbsp of coconut oil in a large pan and added the minced garlic, cilantro and onions let it cook until onions are soft, about 2 minutes. 

-Add the ground turkey, cumin and garlic powder, brown meat several minutes until cooked.

-Add tomato sauce and broth *water* stir together and let it simmer about 5 minutes. Then add the cooked rice.

-After it has simmered a couple minutes spoon it into the bell peppers that you have already cut in half, lengthwise and de-seeded. 

***Rob likes his for with a kick so for his I added chopped jalapeno peppers***

-Place the stuffed halves into a baking dish *whatever left over mix and sauce you have pour over peppers* and cover it tight with aluminum foil then bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

This was super yummy and is one I will definitely make again!!! 

Hope you enjoy!
