Stuffed Peppers

One of my favorite meals to make and to eat! Full and original recipe can be found here. It's originally vegetarian, but modified it.

1 lb ground turkey

1 10 oz pkg. frozen corn
1 cup salsa
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup shredded cheese (I used the "Mexican" blend)
1 each large red, yellow and green pepper, cut lengthwise in half, seeds removed
1/2 cup water

Cook ground turkey, corn and salsa in large nonstick skillet on medium 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in rice and 1/2 cup cheese; spoon into pepper halves.

Place filled peppers in 13x9-inch baking dish. Pour water into bottom of dish; cover.

Bake 30 min.; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10 min. or until cheese is melted.


I didn't cover the dish. It doesn't do anything "bad" to the peppers besides turn them a little brown at the top. You can use ground turkey, beef or vegetarian crumbles like the original recipe calls for. This recipe makes a lot of filling for 3 peppers. I divided the remaining filling up into single serving and put it in ziploc bags and put it in the freezer. It keeps very well! Enjoy!
