Recipe: Peppers Stuffed with Turkey and Wild Rice (using ground turkey)

Main Dishes - Chicken, Poultry
PEPPERS STUFFED WITH TURKEY AND WILD RICE

"This recipe uses the versatile bell pepper to hold together a delicious mixture of turkey, onions, mushrooms, peppers, tomato, spinach and wild rice. These stuffed peppers make a great one-pot meal, but you may also want to add a side dish of applesauce topped with shake of powdered cinnamon. Either way, it is a wonderful dish - classic, simple, satisfying and healthy. You even can make extra peppers, then refrigerate, and thoroughly reheat in the oven for another meal."

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped mushrooms, any kind
1 lb. ground turkey
2 cups of baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced or 1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup chopped carrots, steamed and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice
4 large green or red bell peppers (or any combination), tops removed* and seeded
1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and mushrooms until onions are translucent.

Add turkey, spinach, tomatoes garlic and seasonings and cook until turkey is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
