A while back I made a delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free clean eating stuffed peppers dinner. It was delicious! And super easy to make plus I had extra and was able to mix it up over the next few days. Being in school and working, I love meals that keep giving - meaning meals that give me leftovers!
[Note: I don't claim to be a chef/nutritionist/dietician/food blogger. I don't have calorie counts (I don't count my calories) but I don't think it would be difficult to figure out.]
Ingredients:
Lean ground turkey
Onion
Mushrooms
Broccoli
Yellow squash
Bell peppers (any color)
Garlic powder (optional)
Salt and pepper (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook turkey in skillet until lightly browned, over medium heat.
- Chop all veggies except bell peppers, add to pan with turkey and continue to cook, adding garlic powder/salt/pepper to taste.

| I promise there are onions and mushrooms under there somewhere! |
- Cut the tops of the peppers off so they make a little container. Save the part you cut off so it makes a lid. Scoop out the innards.
- Pack each peppes with your turkey/veggie mixture.
- Place packed peppers in a baking dish with a little water in the bottom to keep peppers from drying out. I used a square pan but I think a long, bread loaf pan would have worked better since one of my peppers fell over and spilled.
- Put tops on peppers and bake for 20 minutes.

| That orange guy in the front right just wouldn't stay up! |
- Serve alone or with sides. Enjoy!
I ate two peppers (all but the stem) and also some extra steamed broccoli and then some fruit.

| Top plate was dinner, bottom container was lunch the next day |
I had left over turkey/veggie mixture so I saved that and ate it on top of some spaghetti squash later that week. Mmmmm!

Hi! I don't know you and I have no idea what you'd think of this website I'm about to share, but I found you from the Wednesday link-up. My favorite, most hilarious clean-eating website is ThugKitchen.com ... the language is super strong but that's part of the theme. Ever since I discovered it I find myself eating more plant-based things. Even Gwyneth Paltrow likes it. (That is such a weird name to type out. I'm used to just referring to her as GOOP. )
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks very delicious.
