Easy Stuffed Peppers
I set out to make an easy stuffed peppers recipe that was healthy but packed with flavor. Here’s my recipe.
Ingredients
4 medium red pepper (red capsicum)
½ pound ground turkey (minced turkey)- 1 cup garlic couscous
2 medium green onions (scallions or green shallots)
½ can tomato - about 7 ounces
½ cup chicken stock (chicken broth or chicken bouillon) - low sodium
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pack cheddar cheese - adjust the quantity to your preference
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Chop the top of the bell peppers off and remove the seeds/pith. Reserve the tops and put the peppers on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare couscous according to package directions.
- Dice shallots and the tops of the peppers and saute them in olive oil at medium to medium-high heat.
- Add ground turkey and brown until no pink is present.
- Add chicken broth and scrape to get up any pieces stuck to the pan.
- Add canned tomato and allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes. If the mixture gets too dry, add chicken broth.
- Stir in couscous, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Stuff the peppers with the mixture and top with cheese. Then bake for 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.
