I have been eyeing those little peppers in the produce section and now I know just what to do with them! We love this recipe and look forward to preparing it again. Next time we may try par-boiling the peppers as well.

How to Make Cheese Stuffed Sweet Peppers with Sauce
- Place garlic, onion, turkey in soup pot with about 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Cook on low till almost done, add canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh diced tomatoes. Also add dry seasonings, sugar and lemon juice.Simmer 30-40 min. Taste and reseason if necessary. Add salt & pepper at this point.
NOTE: I like to put my fresh and canned tomatoes in the food processor and pulse them to remove some of the chunks.
