Hollowed Peppers


Fill em up!

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  • Slice off a very small part of the bottom of the bell pepper to make a flat spot for the pepper to stand on, cut off a generous amount of the stem end of the pepper and then hollow out the peppers. 
  • Then remove seeds and stand the peppers up in a baking dish you've sprayed with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Chop up the pepper tops along with one onion.
  • Fully cook ground turkey. Add onion, peppers, dried spices, brown rice (optional) in pan and sauté for 10 minutes to blend the flavors and soften the pepper and onion.
  • Fill the hollowed out peppers with ground turkey mix and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, top with salsa and serve!

Dinner is Served!
