Stuffed Green Peppers

I'm sorry Miss Avery...these are too good not to share! I was hungry for something easy, hearty and healthy to prepare for dinner after the gym and remembered my mom made a mean stuffed pepper. Debs shared the recipe below and they turned out QUITE incredible if I do say so myself!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey (you can also use regular ground meat)
• 4-6 Bell Peppers halved and seeded
• 1/2 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon of Worchester Sauce
• 2 cloves of Garlic (more if you love garlic!) - minced
• 1/2 basket of mushrooms - diced
• 2 tablespoons of Milk
• 1/2 cup of Breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of finely diced Onion
• 2 teaspoons of each: Kosher or Sea Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper
• 1/4 cup of French Fried Onions (my special additive)

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees.

First, cut your bell peppers in half and scoop out all the seeds, then set aside. Next in a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, eggs, garlic, mushrooms, Worchester sauce, ketchup, milk, breadcrumbs, onion, french fried onions, salt & pepper using your hands. Once it is mixed all together well, start stuffing the halved bell peppers with the meat.

Place the peppers back in the Pyrex dish and sprinkle the top with some freshly grated parmesan cheese for some extra flavor and presentation. Cover the Pyrex dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake the peppers for at least an hour (different timing based on how full you fill the peppers and your oven). The last 5 minutes, remove the foil and let the tops of the peppers get a nice golden toast to them.

Viola! Delicious and healthy too!
