Italian Stuffed Peppers

October 2, 2012

4 large bell peppers
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 lb. ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt + Pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Cut the tops off of peppers and clean out seeds and membranes. Place in baking dish that has a small amount of water on the bottom (it will keep the peppers from sticking and keep them moist).
3. Brown the ground turkey with the onion and garlic, crumbling the meat. Season with salt, pepper and a couple of dashes of Italian seasoning. Drain turkey mixture.
4. Mix turkey mixture, rice, parmesan cheese and almost all of spaghetti sauce in a bowl. Stuff an equal amount of filling into each pepper. Top with a spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on each pepper.

5. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serves 4.

Taste Test: Fantastic! I love stuffed peppers and these were just delicious and so easy and healthy! Perfect!

Here are some pictures of my little guy! He is growing so fast and almost 5 months old! Happy Autumn!
