I waded through the sea of school supplies this week with my daughter. I honestly thought that I was getting a jump on the back to school shopping, and yet I was amazed by how many parents and kids were already perusing the aisles with their school lists. I guess I’m not the only one already planning for back to school. This school year will bring new schedule changes for our family, and I’m going to have to be organized to keep up with it all. From school supplies to meal plans, being prepared is key!
My boys have developed a love for bell peppers over the summer, and I have been incorporating them into more recipes. Stuffed peppers are a great way to encourage their love of peppers and to include other ingredients. They make a tasty meal in a small package. Plus, they are easy and quick to make for an after school meal. This recipe will definitely be in a meal plan rotation in our house for weeknight dinner.
I often cook with Butterball Fresh All Natural Ground Turkey, a lower in fat and calories alternative to ground beef. It is versatile and can be used as a replacement for ground beef in a variety of recipes. This all natural main ingredient with no artificial ingredients is a better-for-you alternative. I’m using the Butterball Fresh All Natural Ground Turkey 97/3 variety in this recipe, but the product also comes in 93/7 and 85/15.
Ingredients:
- Red, orange, or yellow bell peppers (one for each person)
- 1 lb. Butterball® All Natural Ground Turkey
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 cup quinoa
- Ground pepper
- Pink Himalayan sea salt
- Olive oil
First, cook the quinoa according to the instructions on the package.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
While the quinoa is cooking, prep the peppers. Wash the peppers. Cut off the tops, keeping them to the side. Remove the seeds from the inside of the pepper.
- Add different vegetables in the mixture like onions while cooking the ground turkey.
- Sprinkle cheese over the peppers prior to the final baking.
- Stir your favorite salsa into the ground beef mixture before filling the pepper.
- Layer warm beans into the bottom of the pepper before the final baking for even more protein.
Great recipe idea for back to school. Wholesome dinner but super easy to make after those busy days at work and school. I know my kids would enjoy this recipe and so would I! Yummy! Peppers are my favorite.
Believe it or not, I have never tried stuffed peppers – in any way, shape, or form. Your recipe looks amazing and so delightful. I love the fact that you use turkey as the main meat!
We’ve been buying ground turkey in place of ground beef. We’ve been limited on ideas that taste decent. This looks yummy and will be served shortly!
We homeschool, so we get to skip a lot of the back to school busyness, but I always hit the sales. Even before kids, I loved getting office supplies for SO much less than any other time of year!
Stuffed peppers is a dinner that reminds me so much of my childhood. I haven’t used much ground turkey before– how much does it alter the taste of this meal?
With all the added spices, the difference in taste is minimal.
I love this! I actually used to make this, almost similar to yours! And now, you inspired me to make them again. Stuffed peppers are always a great thing to make – and of course, to eat 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Oh Wow this looks so yummy. I love stuffed peppers and it has been a while since we enjoyed them at my house. We used to use ground turkey all of the time before we moved to Iowa where we hunt for our own meat. Hunting season is still a little bit away and we are running low on ground meat so I may have to pick up some of this turkey to get us through, thank you for the inspiration it looks so good!
Yum! I love stuffed peppers but can’t get my family to eat them!
Oh what a great idea for dinner tonight! You can’t really go too wrong with stuffed peppers. these look so delicious and hearty. I’d cut it in pieces and put it over rice too! Yum!
This does look like such a great recipe. And stuffed peppers was one of my favorite veggie dishes when I was growing up. But to be honest, I am not a big ground turkey fan. I don’t know why. I love turkey, but there is something with ground turkey that I have a hard time swallowing. It’s not horrible if you can add some good seasoning to it but I am very particular about that too.
