Italian Style Stuffed Red Peppers

Another new recipe we tried thanks to Dashingdish.com! :-) These were absolutely delicious and they are only 6 Weight Watchers Points Plus Points! I thought I'd want to have two, but one with some asparagus on the side, was plenty to fill me! Enjoy!


What you will need: 

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (Or lean ground beef)
  • 3 red bell peppers
  • 2 cups spaghetti sauce- I used a garlic and herb flavored one.
  • 1 tsp basil/oregano seasoning (or any blend of italian herbs)
  • 1tsp garlic powder (or 1 garlic clove, pressed)
  • 1/2 tsp salt/pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinich
  • 2 tbs grated parmesan cheese + 6 tbs to garnish over the top of each pepper
What you will do:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees and cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (I'd double wrap it if you wanna save your pan, these are drippy little buggers). This makes for easy clean up. Spray with non-stick spray.
  • Brown Turkey
  • Wash peppers and gut the middle of the seeds. Cut in halves the long way. Set aside.
  • Once turkey is all browned, add spices and spaghetti sauce. Stir until well mixed. Add in spinach. Mix well. 
  • Sprinkle two TBSP of parmesan cheese into mixture, mix well.
  • Filly pepper halves with meat mixture. 
  • Top with 1 TBSP of parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese on each pepper.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes
  • Let set for 10 minutes
  • Enjoy!
