Stuffed Peppers
Equipment
- skillet
- Baking dish
- oven
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more to drizzle on top
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- salt to season
- pepper to season
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 8 ounces ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for on top
- 4 medium peppers red, yellow, orange or green or do a mix
Instructions
- Prepare one cup of rice, I used a Jasmine basmati rice, but you may use whatever you have.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a skillet heat the olive oil under medium low heat. Add the onion, season with salt and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and the turkey. Season with salt, pepper and the oregano. Cook until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Add the rice and one 1 cup of the crushed tomatoes. Chop the parsley, add to the mixture and mix through.
- Take the peppers and cut across the top to create a lid. Clean the inside of the pepper, removing the seeds and the white membrane. Cut a very thin slice from the base to help the peppers stand up without cutting through the base.
- Use a baking dish that will hold the peppers snugly to prevent from falling down. Place 1/2 cup of the crushed tomatoes in the baking dish and place the peppers cut side up in the dish. Place some of the grated cheese in the inside bottoms of the peppers. Fill each pepper with the rice and turkey mixture. Top off with some more grated cheese and place the cut caps back on top. Drizzle with the remaining crushed tomato sauce and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
