Stuffed Peppers

We have made stuffed peppers so many times before but this is by far the best they have ever come out! These were so delicious and good for you, too.

Ingredients

4 Green Peppers

1lb of ground turkey

1 cup of brown rice

1 egg

diced  1/2 onion, 1/2 zucchini, 1/2 cup of mushrooms, and the tops from the 4 peppers

dash of parsley, italian seasoning, crushed red pepper

1 tablespoon of minced garlic

a handful of panko breadcrumbs

1 can of crushed tomatoes

Directions

Take all of the diced veggies and sautee them in a pan with the seasonings until they are soft, but not fully cooked. Prepare the brown rice according to the instruction on the box. Once the rice is cooked, mix together the brown rice and veggies. Add in the ground turkey (uncooked), 1 egg, and the handful of panko breadcrumbs. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and stuff into washed peppers! Place peppers in casserole dish and put the crushed tomatoes around the peppers. Bake them uncovered at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the meat is cooked and peppers are fork tender. If you wish, sprinkle cheese on top of the pepper and place back in the oven for a minute or until the cheese is melted! Steam some broccoli for a side and enjoy!
