Stuffed Bell Peppers

  A very healthy alternative dinner.  We always change the ingredients and use what we have. This day, we happened to have smoked gouda which was a really flavourful change. 

Ingredients

4 medium size peppers
1 Cup white basmati rice
3-4 Tbl olive oil
3-4 cloves of minced garlic

1 medium chopped onion

6 -8 assorted chopped mushrooms
500 grams extra lean ground turkey meat
1 C corn
1 /4 Cup variety of fresh herbs
(thyme, sage, oregano, basil or chives)
salt and pepper
1 -2 Cups cheese

Directions

Half the peppers and clean them out.

Cook rice.

Saute onion, garlic, mushrooms and turkey meat with olive oil in large pan. Add corn, rice and salt/pepper. Mix together. Add half the cheese to mixture. Fill peppers with mixture and top with remaining in cheese.
We used a Cup of smoked gouda and parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees F for 25 -35 minutes. Remove cover and cook until tops are golden brown.

We served with a salad and this makes a great meal.
