Stuffed peppers - 21 day approved :)

Okay so today I decided to make my own version of stuffed peppers since I have never made them before with just some things I had in the fridge. So first off, I buy my chicken and ground turkey at Sam's Club. I feel like I get the best deals there for these items and I get A LOT of meals from buying them in bulk. I was able to separate and prep four bags of ground turkey with the big package I got of it. I just cut the meat down the middle and package them one half in each bag. Items I used to make this were:

*ground turkey
*minced garlic
*red onion
*1 jalepeno pepper - Gives it a little kick ;) - If you are not a fan of spicy food leave this out. For me, the spicier the better.
*black beans 1/2 cup
*corn 1/2 cup
*4 dashes of soy sauce
*2 packets of stevia sugar
*chili powder
*garlic powder (I love garlic if you can't tell)
*pepper
*dash of salt
*italian seasoning
*3/4 of a small can of tomato sauce
*2 whole peppers cut in half - I bought my peppers at Sam's too. Not a bad deal for them. I am not a fan of green so I was happy to only get 2 red, 2 yellow, and 2 orange peppers. :)

Before starting to cook set your oven to 350.

While cooking the turkey I added ONLY the italian seasoning and pepper. After draining the turkey I added all the other ingredients on low. I even added some more italian seasoning after draining.

After cooking it all together I just scooped a little bit into each pepper half and put them on my Pampered Chef pan and stuck them in the oven for about 10 minutes at the most.

One and 1/2 of another pepper equals: 1 green (pepper) 1 red (turkey) 1/4 yellow (corn, because there wasn't that much to begin with -- you used 1/2 cup for the entire recipe not each stuffed pepper).

TIP: You could always make some brown rice and use the other 1/4 of your yellow to add rice to get a whole yellow in. I was able to do this for dinner later today.

You will see that you will have some peppers left over and that you will have LOTS of ground turkey mix left over to have a snack by itself later in the week, with some rices or other veggies. I am making zucchini boats wkth left overs this week. ;)

Enjoy! Happy Friday :)
