*Stuffed Bell Peppers*

Tonight we had Hatley over for dinner & I prepared stuffed bell peppers.  I had never made them before but came up with ingredients that would make it a healthy dish without leaving out the flavor.  We were big fans & I will definitely be making this again!  Easy peasy & delish :-)

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tbsp. marinara sauce 
3 Bell Peppers (I did 2 green & 1 yellow since Jay O. is kind of picky...yes, he is even particular about the color of his bell peppers.  ha)
Garlic & Herb Mrs. Dash seasoning (0r seasoning of your choice)
Salt & Pepper to taste 
Shredded Cheddar

Directions:
Cook ground turkey over medium/high heat in a skillet w/1-2 tsp olive oil.  Season ground turkey with your seasoning of choice, salt & pepper to taste.  
Once the ground turkey is close to cooked, add in the diced onion & minced garlic.  Continue cooking until onion is browned. 
Stir in the marinara sauce.
Slice the bell peppers in half & remove seeds.  Lay the halved bell peppers into a glass baking dish.
Spoon the ground turkey mixture into each halved bell pepper until full.
Sprinkle Cheddar Cheese on top.
Bake @ 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

I served mine with a side salad & zuchinnii fries.  Enjoy!
