My husband and I love turkey meat. Our supermarket has ground turkey at such bargain prices I decided to make my stuffed bell peppers with it and then ended up using products in our pantry to complete the ingredients. This is an original recipe and is simply delightful.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pound ground turkey
1 bunch green onions
1 2 oz jar pimentos
1/3 cup Ragu Pasta Mushroom Garlic Sauce
1/8 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 bell pepper chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
4 large bell peppers to be stuffed
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/2 cup uncooked rice (to be cooked)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp oil or PAM
Directions
Cook the rice as usual. In medium Teflon coated saucepan or a PAMed skillet, brown the turkey. Set aside.
Saute the onion, bell pepper and celery. Combine the vegetables with the turkey and add the rest of the ingredients except the Parmesan cheese. Mix well and cook about 5 minutes. Add the rice and mix well.
Cut the top of the bell peppers reserved for stuffing to form a cup. Parboil the peppers for 10 minutes. Remove from water and stuff the peppers with the turkey mix and top with cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place peppers in a casserole dish and put 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Cook for 15 minutes. Serve with green salad and French bread. Just wonderful.
