Ingredients

• 4 whole Bell peppers (any color)
• 227 grams Lean ground turkey
• 180 grams Cooked brown rice
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes, no salt added
• 60 grams Spinach, chopped
• 60 grams Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes inside. Set the peppers aside, along with their tops if desired for decoration.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add lean ground turkey to the pan and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.

Step 6

Stir in diced tomatoes, brown rice, chopped spinach, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine, and let the mixture cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stuff each bell pepper with an even amount of the turkey and rice mixture, pressing it down gently with a spoon to fill completely.

Step 8

Place the stuffed bell peppers upright in a baking dish. If you kept the tops of the peppers, place them back on top.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and sprinkle the tops of each pepper with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Return the peppers to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 12

Allow the peppers to cool slightly before serving. Serve them as a main dish and enjoy!
