Stuffed Bell Peppers
I was so happy to see green bell peppers on sale. Of course when I got them I couldn't think of anything I wanted to make. They sat there in the crisper drawer for a few days before I had to think of something quick before they started to get all wrinkly.

I pulled out my old recipe book that I made when I got married and there it was, a recipe for stuffed bell peppers that I got from a friends mom. I had these stuffed peppers at her house MANY years ago and thought they were pretty tasty so she gave me the recipe. I adapted the recipe slightly to suit my families taste.
The yummy filling for the stuffed green peppers


My hubby loves stuffed bell peppers and I can't believe out of the almost 9 years we've been married I've never thought to make them.

This recipe is so easy and hearty. The stuffing is full of ground turkey, smoked sausage, cheese, onions,  tomatoes, garlic, peppers, and few savory seasonings.


INGREDIENTS

4 green bell peppers
water or chicken broth (to boil whole peppers in)
1/2 white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 smoked turkey dinner sausage link, diced
1 1/2 cups rice, cooked
16 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons parsley
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2- 1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2- 1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2-3/4 cup cheddar cheese

Watch me make these Stuffed Bell Peppers from start to finish!!



*note* Adjust seasonings to suit your taste. Be sure to taste after each addition to prevent over-seasoning it. If you're using seasoned diced tomatoes you may want to cut back or omit some of the seasonings.
