Turkey Stuffed Peppers

This recipe came from pinterest...I can not claim it, the site I got it from was skinnytaste.com...she has an amazing healthy website with really good recipes, no I don't know her from Adam, but always seem to be on her site looking for healthy tasty recipes, so if you haven't seen her, I highly recommend her site...Hope you enjoy this recipe....her calorie count on this was 184.7 one half pepper per serving.....cant beat that for dinner food..........



1 lb ground turkey
1 garlic, minced
1/2 onion
1 Tbsp Cilantro
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup tomato sauce
3-4 large red bell peppers
1 cup fat free chicken broth
1/4 cup cooked brown rice
reduced fat cheese to top each pepper, 1/4 to 1/2 cup

*I doubled the recipe, so the pics show more than what the recipe is asking for

Preheat oven 400 degrees, add a little olive oil to a saute pan and heat on medium. add onion, garlic, cilantro into the pan and saute about 2 min.


I have to say that this stuff right here was the best smelling stuff, I got seriously hungry just making this.

 add ground turkey. season with salt, garlic powder and cumin. Brown meat until completely cooked through...about 10 minutes maybe less



 add tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth..(the other half will be used when baking) simmer on low for about 5 min. In the meantime, prepare your rice as directed on package. Combine cooked rice to the meat mixture.




wash bells and cut lengthwise, remove the veins and seeds.


a paring knife works well at removing the veins....
 Place in a baking dish (9 x 13). fill each pepper with the meat mixture, don't be stingy, filler up good.




 Pour the other 1/2 of broth in the bottom of the pan, cover tightly with foil and bake for 30-35 mins...last few mins, remove the foil add the cheese toss back in the oven until cheese is melted...

this was one of the best stuffed bell peppers I think I have ever had.....AND its guilt free!!!!!!!!
