Do you subscribe to my blog emails? If not you can sign up just over to your right at the top of this webpage. If so, you’ve probably read my requests that you send me any ideas for things you’d like to see on the blog-I LOVE getting requests for certain types of posts…this blog is here to serve you so I want to know what you want to see! One recent request was more healthy, easy recipes-and these skinny stuffed peppers can’t fit the bill better.

This is one of my go-to meals lately, I’ve been having it about once a week! I love it because it’s gluten free, flavorful, and filling. You can easily make it dairy free by omitting the cheese as well so it’s a great option for people that have food intolerances! I’ve been on Weight Watchers for a time now and one of these stuffed peppers is only 2 Freestyle Smartpoints! Yay for low Smartpoint recipes!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey, fat-free
6 oz can tomato paste
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp poultry seasoning
4 red bell peppers
1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use a sharp knife to remove the top of the bell peppers, scrape seeds out with a spoon and set aside in a baking dish.

In a large skillet brown the turkey over medium-high heat until totally cooked. Add water, tomato paste and poultry seasoning. Stir and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Spoon meat mixture into peppers and top with 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
