Turkey and rice stuffed bell peppers

This is a really great summer meal to make whenever the price of the red, yellow and orange bell peppers finally comes down. I made mine to share with 4 people and it was great. I usually eat one stuffed pepper myself and Mike eats two, but you can always fill up on extra stuffing if you want more.

1 package of ground turkey
1 onion
Amount of bell peppers for stuffing (depending on people eating- I used 4)
2 green bell peppers chopped
1 cup of uncooked brown rice for every 2 people eating
1 can of diced tomatoes
Mint leaves
Red pepper flakes
S&P
Parmesan cheese

Start brown rice in rice cooker. Brown turkey meat, drain and return to pan. Add chopped onion and green bell peppers. Saute until softened. Add can of tomatoes, chopped mint, pepper flakes and S&P to taste. Allow to simmer until rice is cooked. Mix all ingredients together.

Take tops off of the stuffing peppers and set aside. Place peppers in a glass cooking pan and fill with stuffing. Top with shredded cheese and set tops back on them. Place remaining stuffing at the bottom of the pan surrounding the peppers. Also top with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees until peppers are soft and easy to cut. Mine took around 30-40 mins.

Enjoy.
