Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 1/2 cups mild tomato salsa
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup spinach (frozen, thawed, drained and squeeze (or 1/2 cup fresh chopped))
  • 5 bell peppers (halved, core in but seeds removed)
  • 1/4 cup water

Instruction

  • In a medium pan over medium-high heat, cook and stir ground turkey, salt, chili powder and pepper until browned.
  • Place turkey in a medium bowl and stir in rice, salsa, 1 cup cheese and spinach. (The filling can easily be made ahead -- see post for notes)
  • Place pepper halves in a 9x13" baking dish. 
  • Fill pepper halves with filling and divide remaining 1 cup cheese between peppers. Pour water in the bottom of the pan. Lightly spray a piece of foil with non stick spray and cover peppers.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove foil and bake for 5-10 minutes, broiling if desired, to brown cheese slightly.
