Ground Turkey–Stuffed Peppers

There’s nothing more versatile than these Ground Turkey–Stuffed peppers! Add ground chicken, beef, pork, or even veal to up the amount of protein in this dish; enjoy the peppers over a bed of dark, leafy greens and a variety of different colored tomatoes; or make this spicy recipe even hotter by experimenting with various fiery spices and fresh herbs like cayenne, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground chipotle peppers! A hot sauce like Tabasco would ramp up the heat even more. Drizzle it over the finished product, and/or add it to the ground beef while browning.
Serves 4

1 pound lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
Pinch of pepper
2 eggs
4 medium bell peppers

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brown meat in large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Add onion and garlic, and cook 4 minutes. Add zucchini and cook another 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add tomatoes, spices, and eggs. Mix well.
  2. Cut tops off peppers and scoop out the seeds. Spoon the meat mixture into peppers. Stand the peppers up in a baking dish, and place the extra meat mixture in a second baking dish.
  3. Bake for 30–40 minutes until well heated and peppers are slightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
