Easy Turkey-Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup (195g) brown rice, cooked
- 1 15-oz. can (445g) Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes
- 4 bell peppers (any color), seeds and tops removed
- 1/2 cup (57g) cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190ºC).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the turkey and onion, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat until the turkey is browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F, about 7 minutes. Add brown rice and tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until the water from the tomatoes has cooked off, about 3 minutes.
Divide mixture evenly between bell peppers and place in a square baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil, top with cheese and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
