Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Dinner

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (195g) brown rice, cooked

• 4 bell peppers

• 1 lb. (450g) ground turkey breast

• ½ yellow onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 ½ tbsp. mixed herbs

• 1 ⅓ cup (300ml) tomato paste

• ⅓ cup (35g) mozzarella, grated

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook rice according to instructions on the packaging. Cut bell peppers in half, remove seeds and set aside.

2. In a large, dry non-stick pan, cook the ground turkey with the onion and garlic for about 8 mins. Remove from the heat and add the rice, 1 cup of tomato paste, mixed herbs, cinnamon, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well.

3. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Place the bell peppers in a baking dish (if they are leaning too much, trim the bottom slightly to create a flat surface).

4. Stuff each bell pepper with the turkey and rice mixture. Top each pepper with 1 tbsp. tomato paste and a sprinkle of cheese.

5. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish, this will help steam the peppers. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the covering and bake uncovered for about 5 more minutes, until the cheese melts.

6. Serve immediately or cool and store in the fridge for later.
