ingredients spices Directions Preheat oven for 350 degrees. Start browning meat. While meat is cooking start hollowing out the bell peppers. Place in 8x8 baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes...this is actually a step I added in after my first attempt with this recipe. The first attempt I did not bake my peppers before stuffing and they still had their raw, crisp taste, but still tasty. corebellpephollowbellpep Cook turkey meat in 1 tbs of oil, then combine beans, tomatoes, seasoning and chicken stock. skilletmixture_ingredients Simmer for about 3 minutes then add in 1 tsp of corn starch. This is also a step I added after my first attempt with this recipe. I felt the mixture stayed too soupy even after baking, so adding just a little corn starch at the end of cooking will tighten up the liquid. cookedmix After bell peppers are finished with their first bake, divide the mixture and stuff the peppers. peppersfilled Pour about 1/2-1 inch of salsa on top and around the bell peppers. sideprofile_sauce Top each bell pepper with 1 tbs of low fat mozzarella cheese. cheestopp_preoven Then cover with tin foil, bake in oven for about 30-40 minutes.
