These Healthy Stuffed Peppers are Tasty and Good For You Too!

I enjoy making these Healthy Stuffed Peppers for my family because these are so good for us!!! In addition to being low fat and low calorie, there are nutritional health benefits added with the spinach and the whole grain rice. I go back and forth between this recipe and my Good For You Stuffed Red Pepper recipe where I use red peppers, couscous, carrots and black beans to bring lots of taste and nutritional value. Either meal is a hit with my family.


Brown Rice, Spinach and Turkey Stuffed Peppers

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Defrost the spinach and squeeze dry.

Boil the rice and cook on low heat for approximately 20 minutes or as per package directions.

Brown the ground turkey and onion over medium heat. Drain the fat and add the spinach, Worchester sauce, garlic powder, italian seasoning, oregano, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Stir the seasonings well in to the meat mixture. Add the tomato sauce, the rice and mix well. Taste for salt and pepper and add per your taste.

Place green peppers on baking sheet and stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture. Top each pepper with chili sauce and cheese.

Bake the peppers covered with foil for 45 minutes. (keep the foil from touching the cheese or it will pull the cheese right off.) Bake the pepper uncovered for approximately 15 minutes or until peppers are soft.
