Mexican Stuffed Peppers


Mexican Stuffed Peppers The way I make them are low in saturated fat, and carb and high in fiber and healthy protein.

Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground turkey meat
ten minute brown rice
( follow directions for 4 servings of rice)
Three large bell peppers
one packet taco seasoning
Mexican seasoned shredded cheese
your favorite salsa



Cut the tops off your peppers and clean out the seeds. Set your oven at about 400 degrease and precook your peppers until they are a little bit soft. About 15 minutes. Set aside for stuffing soon.

Get your rice started on the stove or microwave so that it is ready to add to the turkey.






Brown the meat over medium heat and follow the directions on the seasoning packet. ( You can always season with your own mix of herbs and spices if you like.)

Add the cooked rice to the meat and mix together well.







Stuff the meat and rice into your bell peppers and top with a sprinkle of cheese.

These only need to bake long enough to finish cooking the peppers and melt the cheese. About another 15 minutes at the most.








Here are the completed stuffed peppers! They are not the most beautiful food in the world presentation wise but when my husband had one for dinner he said it one the best meals he ever had. He does not usually say that so they must be good!

Enjoy!!
