Updated on February 01, 2022 Nicole Branan / E+ / Getty Images Total Time: 50 min Prep Time: 20 min Cook Time: 30 min Servings: 6 Stuffed peppers are usually made with bell peppers, which makes sense—they are readily available, delicious, and they stand up in a baking dish. You can use any color of bell peppers to make this recipe—it's fun to have a mixture of two or three colors. These stuffed peppers are low in carbohydrates and high in protein and provide plenty of vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Choosing foods high in protein helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied with your meals. Add a grain and a side of veggies, and you have a complete dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner and tastes great reheated the next day. Ingredients
Preparation
Variations and SubstitutionsFor a spicier variation, try using poblano peppers instead of bell peppers. Simply split the poblano peppers lengthwise, making two filled peppers out of each. If you want to switch out peppers entirely, this turkey filling would be fantastic inside a baked sweet potato or a tomato. For tomatoes, remove the seeds and most of the insides, so it doesn't make the filling too wet. You can also substitute any other ground meat for the turkey, such as beef, chicken, or pork. Alternatively, use beans or textured vegetable protein for a vegetarian option. You can also use any other type of cheese you like or try non-dairy plant-based cheese. Skipping the cheese altogether will still provide excellent results. If you don't have fresh garlic or onion, jarred or dried garlic will do. You can also add any other herbs and spices you like. Try oregano and basil for an Italian flare or some chili powder and smoked paprika for more of a Southwest feel. Cooking and Serving Tips
