Garden Harvest Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Serves: 1

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 medium orange bell pepper, halved and seeded

• 8 oz lean ground turkey

• 2 tablespoons dry white rice

• ¾ cup fresh spinach, chopped

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• Pinch of kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper and place the bell pepper halves cut-side up.

Step 2

Cook the rice according to the package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, heat ½ tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped spinach, garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked rice until well combined.

Step 6

Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into each bell pepper half. Drizzle the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the tops.

Step 7

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is lightly golden. Serve warm.

HerEra Tip

For even more flavour, stir a little crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, or shredded mozzarella into the filling before baking. Add chopped mushrooms, zucchini, or diced tomatoes for extra vegetables, or finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon just before serving. These stuffed peppers also freeze beautifully, making them a wonderful meal-prep option for busy weeks.
