Best Freaking Stuffed Peppers Ever (160 Calories)

The title says it all!  These truly are the best freaking stuffed peppers EVER!  I have tried to make the standard hamburger/rice.. toss in other stuff to get the right flavor / consistency / still taste like crap stuffed peppers for years... and once in about three tries they come out great!  And *sigh* i never write it down. So I'm all like..

 

 

AND THEN.. my husband asks me to make them again....

 

THEN I FOUND THESE.

 

 The BEST Freaking Stuffed Peppers EVER.

 

Calories per Serving 160. Carbs 7. Fat 6. Protein 17.  Serving size 1/2 a pepper.

 

 

Ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey (I used 93/7 Jenny-O)

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cumin powder

3 large bell peppers (i used 2 green, one red)

1 cup fat free chicken broth

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup diced tomato's

1 1/2 cups cauliflower (grated)

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella

 

 

Directions:

Slice peppers in half and clean.  Lay in a baking dish that has been gently sprayed with pam spray. (I used olive oil pam spray) Set aside. Lightly spray a medium pan with olive oil spray.  Toss in onion and saute for 2 minutes.  Add ground turkey and cook until done.  Add garlic and cumin powders. Stir well.  Add half of the tomato sauce and half of the chicken broth. Stir well then simmer for 5 minutes.  Toss in cauliflower.  Remove from heat. Taste and salt as needed. Stuff the peppers very full of the meat mixture.  Try to use all of the mixture.  Top each pepper evenly with the diced tomato's.  Pour the remaining chicken broth in the bottom of the baking dish.  Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Uncover, sprinkle tops of peppers with cheese, and bake another 5-10 minutes.  Serve hot.

 

These were mouth watering!  The peppers were perfectly done, the meat was very flavorful and needed nothing!  I will try these again, using beans and corn instead of the cauliflower.. and again with rice as the filling on days I need a higher carb/calorie content! I will also make these to freeze and see how they turn out!  I hope you enjoy them!!
