INGREDIENTS
1 medium Bell Pepper
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 oz Turkey Pepperoni Slices
1/4 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the bell pepper and remove seeds and membranes. If needed, trim a small portion from the bottom to help it stand upright.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it starts to brown. Break it up into small pieces.
Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Once turkey is nearly cooked through, add in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the turkey pepperoni slices, mixing well to combine the flavors.
Spoon the mixture generously into the hollowed bell pepper. Top with shredded mozzarella evenly.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepper is tender.
Allow the pepper to cool slightly before serving.
