Microwave Stuffed Peppers
4 large peppers, 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey meat, 1/3 cup water, 1 envelope dry onion soup mix, 1/2 cup low calorie marinara sauce, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Wash peppers, cut off tops and remove seeds. Place in a microwave safe pan and cover. Microwave on high for about 6 minutes. Microwave peppers until they are partially soft but remain firm. In the meantime, brown turkey meat in large saucepan and drain all fat.
In a small bowl, mix the dry soup with water. Pour the mixture over the cooked turkey and stir. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stir occasionally. Spoon 1/4 of turkey mixture into each pepper, filling to the top. Spoon marinara and Parmesan cheese over each pepper.
Microwave peppers in microwave safe pan, covered, for about 2 minutes on high.
This recipe comes from my roommate's binder o' random recipes. I've been slowly typing up each one that I like and making my own word document o' random recipes.
Ground turkey, we meet again. You taste good if I mask your flavor with salt, pepper, and extra marinara sauce. It's so unfortunate but I just cannot get my taste buds around ground turkey. It just feels so weak and limp in flavor. I don't want to have to dump marinara sauce on the turkey to get me to eat it. That's how parents get their kids to eat veggies, by masking their taste with something else. It's just not worth it, which is such a shame because I had a fantastic workout after eating the turkey meat. I loved this dish, I just need to sub the ground beef for turkey.
I paired my stuffed pepper with mini potatoes and kale, the super leafy green. I like my kale spicy and I'm working on cooking it just right. I've been adding paprika and black pepper. It'll be a long time before I make Mrs. Raboy kale, aka the spiciest and most delicious kale you'll eat.
