INGREDIENTS

8 oz ground turkey

2 medium bell peppers

0.25 cup cooked brown rice

0.25 cup tomato puree

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Slice the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove the seeds and membranes from the inside.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil and sauté the diced yellow onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.

• 4

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.

• 5

  Stir in the cooked brown rice, tomato puree, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and smoked paprika until the mixture is well combined.

• 6

  Stand the bell peppers upright in a baking dish. If they are wobbly, slice a tiny bit off the bottom to level them without creating a hole.

• 7

  Spoon the turkey and rice mixture into each pepper, packing it down gently.

• 8

  Pour a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup) into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam, then cover the dish tightly with foil.

• 9

  Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender when pierced with a fork.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
