I know, I know.... It has been forever since I've posted anything so tonight I decided to post a recipe. Is quick, easy and healthy. I hope you like it.
SEASONED TURKEY AND PEARLED COUSCOUS STUFFED PEPPERS
(Makes 8 servings)
8 large bell peppers - I used red and orange ones with the 4 bumps on the bottom so they stand better.
12 mini red, orange and yellow sweet peppers thinly sliced
4.7oz package of Pearled Couscous
2 16oz packages taco seasoned ground turkey
1 cup shredded Colby and monetary jack cheese
1 cup white corn and black bean salsa
2 tablespoons McCormick salt free Southwest seasoning
In large pan brown the turkey with Southwest seasoning or seasoning of choice.
Add in sliced mini sweet peppers, salsa, couscous (with it's seasoning packet if included), and 1 cup water. Allow to simmer for 10 min. Remove from heat and mix in shredded cheese.
Stuff 8 peppers with the mixture. Place on cookie sheet or balance on muffin tin. Place in 400°F oven for 30 minutes or units the peppers are soft.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with a bit more cheese shreds and serve.

There are a ton of vitamins too but honestly, I was too lazy to list the rest since I am focusing on fat, sugar and protein amounts. Enjoy.
