Southwest Turkey Stuffed Peppers
Posted on January 31st, 2007 9:16 pm
- Success Southwest Chipotle Rice prepared without oild
or any brown rice (but I would add a bit more spice then) - 8 oz lean ground turkey
- dried onion flakes
- minced onion
- chili powder
- cumin
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- 3 peppers (I used one each of green, red and yellow)
- Salsa
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the rice according to package without the oil. While the Rice is cooking, cut the tops off and clean the peppers, brown the ground turkey with spices. When the rice is finished, add the ground turkey to the rice and mix. Fill the peppers with the turkey and rice mixture top with salsa. Bake for about 10 minutes or until peppers are of desired doneness, I enjoy mine still crunchy.
That’s it! I made them in literally 20 minutes. Now, I made 3 peppers but 2 of them were quite large. You could probably get smaller peppers and easily spread the filling a bit further. For three I am getting about 5 points a serving. If anyone wants to through it in the recipe builder for me that would be great!
Oh! And I couldn’t decide what picture wo post so you got them both. ;)

I just made these again, this time I had 5 small to medium green peppers and I added a cup of chopped spinach. I just had enough to fill them perfectly! I also ran the ingredients through the nutritional data program. I’m getting about 190 calories, 5g of fat and 4g of fiber for each of the 5 peppers! That’s just a little more then 3 points a peice!

I made stuffed peppers last week with Laura’s lean ground beef, taco seasoning, refried beans,corn and salsa. I topped them with reduced fat cheese. They were awesome.

Oh my GOD!!!! My mom and I just made and ate these peppers! YUMMMMMYYYYY!!!! This is such an easy recipe and so delicious! It’s so light and so filling too!
We couldn’t find the southwest chipotle rice so we just used brown rice and added extra spices to it.
Thanks for the recipe! Absolutely delicious :-) We’re already talking about how great of a party food this would be!!!

These were awesome. I used lean ground beef instead. They were very filling for just 7pts for 1 and a half peppers.

[…] Evening - 13 My take on Roni’s recipe — Ground turkey with taco seasoning, mixed with some rice and put into peppers. I’ll have 2, DF will probably peel everything out of the pepper and eat it with chips. :p I also made some angel food (devilish!) cake and topped it with some lightly sugared strawberries (1 tsp) […]
