Bell Peppers Stuffed with Ground Turkey Breast (Italian inspired)

Ingredients

Six medium  red bell peppers with tops removed

1 lb of freshly ground turkey breast

Fresh parsley and basil
1 minced green onion

2 tbsp  oat bran

1 egg white

Sal and Pepper to taste

Remove tops and seeds from the bell peppers and blanch them in water to soften

Mix fresh herbs, oat bran, egg white, and salt and pepper to taste into ground turkey breast

Stuff meat mixture into the softened bell peppers

Place in a pot of non-fat chicken broth. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.

As a variation, you can find smaller peppers  (about 12 for this recipe)  and fill them with  1/2 lb each of lean ground beef, chicken, and turkey, adding freshly minced garlic, basil, parsley, salt, pepper, an  egg white  and a heaping tablespoon of  oat bran. Add a small can of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of white wine to the bottom of the pan, and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until done basting every 10 minutes  with the liquid so that the meat does not dry out.

That’s it!
