Turkey Stuffed Peppers
- 1-13 pound Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast
- Extra-virgin Olive Oil For Cooking
- 2 cups Green Cabbage, Sliced Into 2 Inch Thin Strips
- 1 whole Small White Onion, Diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 can Tomato Sauce (15 Oz Can)
- 1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- 1- 1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice (approximate)
- 6 whole Small/medium Bell Peppers, Tops And Seeds Removed (trim A Bit Off The Bottoms To Level If Necessary)
- 6 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Coat the bottom of a skillet with extra-virgin olive oil.
- On medium-high heat, add the ground turkey and cook until its no longer pink, breaking it up and moving it around in the pan so everything gets cooked.
- Once fully cooked, remove meat from the pan and set aside.
- Add a touch more oil to the pan, and saute the cabbage, onion and garlic.
- Cook until softened.
- Add the meat back into the pan.
- Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth.
- Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to low and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Once thickened, stir in the cooked brown rice.
- Remove from heat.
- Place the peppers into a baking dish.
- Fill each pepper with the meat mixture.
- Dont be afraid to stuff it above the top, as long as it stays in.
- If you have a little mixture left over, no worries.
- You can nibble while you wait!
- Top each pepper with about a tablespoon of breadcrumbs and a sliver of butter to help them brown in the oven.
- Fill the bottom of your baking dish with about an inch of water to help cook the peppers.
- Finishing cooking in the oven about 1520 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.
- I dont like my peppers too cooked.
- I like them to still have a little crispness to them.
