Back in January I started working at H&R Block. During my time there, I became friends with a co-worker who is from Germany! She was born and raised there and had only moved to the states in her later years after marrying an American who had been deployed to her country during his time in the service. We added each other on facebook and she makes most of her meals from scratch, occasionally shares them online! She posted a stuffed pepper recipe that looked and sounded so delicious! I messaged her for the recipe and she kindly sent it my way.
We are a family that doesn’t eat much red meat and I try my best to stick to a pescatarian/vegetarian diet so I subsituted with ground turkey since my husband prefers it!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix 1 lb of ground turkey with 1 egg, half a chopped vidalia onion, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and a pinch of the following: italian seasoning, salt, & pepper.
- Cut the tops off of 3 bell peppers, clean them out, and fill them with the mix.
- Fill a stock pot with 3/4 cup water, 1 can tomato paste, i chopped tomato, the other half of the onion, 1 cup of uncooked white rice, and then place the stuffed peppers in the pot standing upright.
- Bring the pot to a boil then reduce to simmer for 40 minutes stirring occasionally to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
