Nutritious stuffed peppers with turkey and rice - a family favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 0.75 cup brown basmati rice (such as Trader Joe's®)
  • 0.5 onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 0.25 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large red bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, bring water and rice to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 45 to 50 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Rest covered before serving.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • 1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, parsley, and garlic for 2 minutes. Add turkey, salt, and garlic powder. Cook until meat is browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and tomato sauce; simmer for 5 minutes. Fold in cooked rice.
  • Stuff each bell pepper half generously with the flavorful rice mixture. Place them snugly in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top each pepper with a generous amount of cheese. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth into the dish, then seal tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in a hot oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is golden brown, around 5 minutes longer.
