-
2 cups cooked rice
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/2 cup soft white bread crumbs
-
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Preparation
- Cut peppers in half from stem to bottom. Remove seeds. Parboil 4 minutes.
- In a large frying pan cook ground turkey. Remove meat and reserve. Discard pan drippings.
- Sauté onion in 1 teaspoon butter until translucent. Add salsa, Mrs. Dash® herb seasoning, cooked rice and meat. Stir to combine.
- Stuff green pepper halves with the meat and rice mixture, and place into a shallow baking dish. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan.

- Cover and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 minutes until browned.
Helpful hints
- Ground beef can be substituted for the turkey. It will increase the fat content a bit.
- For variety use red or orange bell peppers instead of green peppers.
