what you’ll need:
1lb ground turkey
1 zucchini
1 white onion
Minced garlic
15oz can diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
Chicken stock
3-4 large green or red bell peppers
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
Avocado oil
Raw sharp cheddar cheese
Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350
Prep bell peppers peppers by cutting them in half and taking out the stem, seeds, and the whiter parts (ya know the stem looking things on the inside)
Heat up a pan to medium high heat and add 1 tbs of avocado oil, 1 tbs of minced garlic, 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped zucchini, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.
Then add 1lb of ground turkey, 3 tbs of Italian seasoning, 2 tbs of garlic powder, and some salt and pepper to taste. I added about 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
Once the ground turkey is brown you’re going to add your can of diced tomatoes including the juices, one can of tomato paste and 1/4 cup chicken stock. Mix super well and let simmer for a few minutes.
Place your bell peppers in a baking dish and add your filling to each pepper. Put in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until the peppers are soft.
Once out of the oven sprinkle with some raw sharp cheddar cheese and some fresh parsley. I also added a bit more salt and pepper at the end and it was perfect! Enjoy!!
