Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup onions diced

- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups ground turkey
- ½ cup homemade tomato sauce
- 1 cup green beans diced
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 2 big bell peppers cut in half
- Parmesan
- Fresh parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and the carrots tender.
- Add the ground turkey and cook until the meat is not pink anymore. Make sure to break apart the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add homemade tomato sauce, green beans, salt, and pepper. Cook for more 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange the peppers in a greased baking dish, cavity side facing up.
- Fill each bell pepper halves with the ground turkey-green beans mix.
- Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the peppers are cooked and soft.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with parmesan and parsley.
Notes
- For the bell peppers, keep in mind that the sweetest ones are the red bell peppers and the greens are the least sweet, so I try to use red, orange, or yellow bell peppers.
- You can put the onion, carrots, and garlic into a food processor to mince them finely so they fit into the bell peppers.
- Make sure to trim the green beans before using, as the ends can be tough and stringy.
- To store: Place stuffed pepper leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: You can reheat the stuffed bell peppers in the microwave or oven.
- To freeze: Tightly wrap up each of the stuffed peppers and freeze them for up to 3 months.
