Stuffed Peppers

This is a family favorite of ours. I was able to get this recipe from Biggest Loser from a couple of seasons ago. I really haven't had to tweak it because it is yummy as it. But everyone has their own tastes, so feel free to tweak if you need to, to suit your tastes.


Hannah's Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Olive Oil Spray
1/2 cup minced onions
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 pounds extra lean ground turkey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste (I don't use salt)
1/4 cup low sodium tomato sauce
1 cup fat-free low sodium chicken broth, divided
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
4 sweet red peppers (any bell pepper will work)
1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheese


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil, heat over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to pan. Saute about 2 minutes, or until softened. Add ground turkey to pan. Season to taste with salt, and then add garlic powder and ground cumin. Break meat apart and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until browned. Add 1/4 cup tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chicken broth to pan. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add chopped cilantro to the turkey mixture. There will be about 2 cups of turkey mixture. Cut tops of peppers off and remove seeds. Fill each pepper with turkey mixture. Place all peppers in a baking dish and pour the rest of the chicken broth in the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. When done, Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
