Bean, Turkey & Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Need a 20-minute meal for you or your family? Stuffing bell peppers is a time-efficient and cost-effective method to pack in quality protein and complex carbohydrates in every bite.

I like peppers stuffed with anything, but this version with beans, turkey and veggies is my favorite at the moment and I make it very often.

For this stuffed peppers recipe, you’ll need to get 2 nice, colorful bell peppers, lean ground turkey, black beans with low sodium, tomato sauce without salt, Roma tomatoes, zucchini, reduced-fat mozzarella, lime, cilantro and seasonings.

Before you start making, preheat the oven at 400 F. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and clean them from seeds. Place them on a baking dish and bake for at least 8 minutes.

In a meantime, cook lean ground turkey with garlic paste in a nonstick skillet. When meat is almost completely cooked, add the remaining ingredients to the skillet and stir. Add in Italian seasonings, sea salt and pepper and cook for 5 more minutes.

When the stuffing is ready, fill the bell peppers evenly, and add the mozzarella on top of each. Cover stuffing peppers with foil and bake them in the oven for another 10 minutes.

When the peppers are done, leave for a few minutes to cool and then serve. Squeeze lime and garnish stuffed bell pepper with cilantro. Enjoy!

Sounds delicious? You should try them. Turkey stuffed peppers are always a great lunch idea when you have no time but you have a lot of hungry family members.

Not only is it quick and easy to make, but groceries are also available in almost every store, and you may already have all the ingredients at home. You can certainly adapt it to your taste or the ingredients you have at home, but be sure to try this version once. You will fall in love with the taste.
