This afternoon it was finally time to make stuffed peppers.
Ingredients:
1 tbs coconut oil
2 lbs ground turkey 93% lean
1 packet reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can Kuner's Southwest chili beans
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tomato
1 cup brown rice
1 cup Mexican shredded cheese
Green or red peppers to stuff
Instructions:
Sautee turkey in coconut oil until cooked.
Add minced garlic, beans, chopped tomato, and taco seasoning. Mix well and add cooked brown rice. Distribute evenly into pepper cups. *tip, tinfoil moldings help them stay upright. Top with cheese and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
I didn't prep enough peppers so I have a ton of mixture left, it's delicious just plain or could be used to make a burrito or top a taco salad.
Yum
I imagine this would make 20 peppers, mine are small. So using the Weight Watchers Recipe Builder online, each pepper is 4 points+ each :-) Pair with a salad for a filling lunch or just have 2!
These will make for quick lunches and dinners this week. Freeze extras and forget about the prepackaged junk!
Enjoy!
