I am trying to find new and healthy ways to use ground turkey. My family is tired of turkey burgers. I am hoping they will like this healthy turkey stuffed peppers recipe.

Yup, I have made one too many turkey burgers lately and my family is ready to boycott them.

Luckily, I have these beautiful organic bell peppers I need to use up. Stuffed peppers are quick and easy to make.

The star of this recipe is sun-dried tomatoes from Trader Joe’s. I love that these are packed in olive oil so they stay nice and soft.

  6. I am thrilled that you used turkey instead of beef or other meat because it gives such flavor and I love it! Sundried tomatoes are a bonus and it sold the recipe! 😀 Great one! I would eat it every day, a great mix of veggies and meat.
