Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

2.5lbs Ground Turkey

4-6 Peppers

¼ cup Hot sauce

1tsp Garlic powder

1tsp Chili powder

½tsp Paprika

1tsp Basil leaves

1tsp Onion powder

1tsp Red pepper

½ cup Onion mix

15oz can Black beans

Shredded cheese

15oz can dice tomatoes

6oz can Tomato paste

Directions:

First, sauté your onion mix on medium-high heat. I made my own onion mix consisting of red, orange, and yellow peppers, red and yellow onion, celery, and garlic. You can use the frozen kind or even the fresh mix you get at the store, but fresh always tastes better... Once the onion mix is sautéed down, add the ground turkey. My favorite brand is Jeanie-O. Always remember: LEAN MEAT LIKE LOW HEAT! Cooking turkey on low will prevent it from becoming dry but if you are in a hurry you can cook it medium heat. While the meat is cooking cut your peppers in half. I use the colorful peppers instead of bell peppers but it’s up to you. I usually only use 4 peppers and save the leftover meat for lettuce wraps (recipe coming soon). When the meat is finished cooking I usually drain the excess juice and add the black beans, a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste. The last step before baking them is to sprinkle a little shredded cheese in the bottom of my peppers, and then I stuff them and add a little cheese to top them off.
