Turkey Taco Stuffed Peppers
Why I LOVE stuffed peppers:
Your all-in-one for carbs, protein, fat, fiber, veggie
So many variations possible- get creative!
Try buffalo chicken stuffed peppers, etc.
Easily re-heatable, making them perfect for meal prep, work lunches, or a heat-and-eat option
Adding the rice to your mixture is a great way to "stretch your starch"
Instructions:
Cook your brown rice in rice cooker or other preferred method; set aside.
In a large saucepan with a little bit of water on the bottom, place the whole peppers to allow to lightly steam & soften. Remove when done.
While that’s steaming, shred your cheese (you can omit this step if using pre-shredded cheese)
In a large pan, heat up avocado oil. Add your ground turkey & seasonings.
When the turkey is cooked, add a can of drained, rinsed black beans.
Add your cooked rice to the turkey mixture & combine.
Halve your peppers and place on an oven safe baking sheet or tin-foil tray.
Stuff your peppers with turkey & rice mixture.
Top with shredded cheese and broil until cheese is melted.
You will likely have cooked turkey & rice mixture left over— you can use this to stuff additional peppers or eat it as is.
