Stuffed Peppers with Turkey and Vegetables

Today for dinner I made Stuffed Peppers with Turkey and Vegetables!  I found the recipe after searching on allrecipes.com (one of my favorite sites to find recipes!) and it was absolutely delicious!

I made a few changes to that recipe so here it is:

Ingredients:

• 4 yellow bell peppers, tops removed, seeded
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion
• 1 zucchini
• 1 orange bell pepper
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• Oregano, basil and paprika to taste
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Parmigiano reggiano 
• Shredded mozzarella

All the ingredients

Yellow peppers with the tops cut off

Directions:

1. Chop the peppers, zucchini, onion and spinach.

Chopped veggies

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
3. Wrap the yellow bell peppers in aluminum foil, and place in a baking dish.  Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven.  Remove from heat.

4. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey until evenly brown.  Set aside.  

5. Heat oil in the skillet, and cook onion, mushrooms, zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and spinach until tender.

6. Return turkey to the skillet.  Mix in the tomatoes and tomato paste, and season.  Stuff the green peppers with the skillet mixture.

6. Return peppers to the oven, and continue cooking 15 minutes.

7. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmigiano reggiano on the top and return to oven for 5 minutes.

I also cooked rice pilaf.  To plate, put rice in a bowl and add a stuffed pepper on top.

ENJOY!!!

In the future, I would have more meat and less veggies as well as more seasoning.  Additionally, I would add rice to the mixture instead of just serving the pepper over rice.  But all in all, it was delicious!!!
