Super Healthy, Super Yummy, Easiest from Trader Joe’s

This recipe is taken from SkinnyTaste.com, where it has over 100, 5 star reviews!

I have been making these at least once a week and that are my FAVE. They are gluten free if you use white rice and also dairy free if you omit cheese. It makes enough for dinner and leftover lunch if you serve with a side (like salad).

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey

• 3 frozen garlic cubes (or 3 cloves minced)

• 1 onion, minced

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp cumin powder

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 3 large sweet red bell peppers, washed

• 1 cup chicken broth, divided

• 1/4 cup tomato sauce

• 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (frozen organic)

• Olive oil spray

• 6 tbsp (or whatever) cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat oven to 400°F.

• Lightly spray olive oil spray in a medium nonstick skillet and heat on a medium heat.

• Add onion, garlic and cilantro and saute about 2 minutes, add ground turkey, salt, garlic powder, cumin and cook meat for 4 to 5 minutes until meat is completely cooked through.

• Add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of chicken broth, mix well and simmer on low for about 5 minutes.

• Combine cooked rice and meat together.

• Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove all seeds. Spoon 2/3 cup meat mixture into each pepper half and place in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Top each with 1 tbsp cheese.

• Pour the remainder of the chicken broth on the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes.

• Carefully remove the foil and serve right away.
