How To Make turkey stuffed peppers
-
Step 1in a large bowl mix about 2 cups of your sauce with the turkey and uncooked rice. Mix very well I use my hands to mix this up. It just seems to mix the best set this aside, set the oven at 400 degrees
-
Step 2clean all your peppers, cut the top off just enough so the stem on the inside is cut off.
-
Step 3pull or cut out the middle seeds and core.
-
Step 4spoon the mixture into the empty peppers.make sure and push the mixture down to fill up all the crevices.
-
Step 5place the peppers one at a time in to a large deep dish I use 2 casserole dish's.Usually 6 in each one depending on the size of the peppers
-
Step 6pour the remaining sauce around the peppers
-
Step 7place the dish in the oven, I prefer to cover mine with aluminum foil and cook for about 45 min. I take the foil off and cook another 10 min.
-
Step 8I like to put any leftover meat in between the peppers it still gets the flavor, and for those that don't like the peppers (kids lol) you can say it was not cooked in the pepper!
-
Step 9also I use the tops around the peppers as well.The more Pepper taste the merrier I say! We just take them out when they are done cooking
-
Step 10when the juice in the pepper runs clear and you can poke the meat with a fork as well they are done. If your worried leave them in another 10 min. It has never dried mine out. You may want to pour the extra juice out from the sides when you serve.
-
Step 11serve them up with plenty of sauce and ENJOY!!!!!
