Mouth Watering Monday!

Here's another quick and healthy recipe that will rock your taste buds!



Stuffed Peppers!

• Whole grain brown rice  
• Ground turkey (Can also use ground beef but turkey is leaner and less expensive!)
• Tomato Sauce of choice (I used Classico Tomato Basil)
• Green Bell Peppers
• Cheese (I used a mix of 5 white Italian cheeses, but good ole Mozzarella would work!)
• Salt & Pepper for taste
• Spices: Mrs. Dash Original, Garlic Salt, Parsley (for garnish)

Prep Time: 25 min 

Cook Time: 30 min

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

How to prepare your peppers!

1. Prepare the brown rice according to directions. Set aside.
2. Fill a pot with enough water to cover the peppers. Wait for the water to boil. 
3. While you're waiting for the water to boil, cut the end with the stem off of the pepper. To allow the pepper to sit flat in your glass dish, cut off a bit of the bottom. Scoop out the seeds and middle portion to make a bowl. 
4. Boil the peppers for about 3 minutes to soften them up.
5. Brown the ground turkey until there is no longer pink spots. Salt and pepper lightly. Drain the excess water. Set aside.
6. Poor the rice and meat into a separate bowl. Add desired amount of tomato sauce. Stir to coat the mixture of rice and turkey. 
7. Add a handful of cheese. Mix.
8. Season with garlic salt and Mrs. Dash.
9. Set the green peppers in a glass casserole dish. Pack the peppers with the rice/turkey mixture. Fill until the peppers are full. 
10. Top the peppers with extra cheese. Garnish with parsley!
11. Put in the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
12. Enjoy stuffing your face with your stuffed peppers! :)
