Savory stuffed peppers for two! with bacon!
Another of my dinners for two---that's all I ever cook! I found out that ground turkey is a leaner, lighter alternative to ground beef that can be just as good and flavorful if it is prepared right. I feel healthier eating it, although I admit in this recipe I sort of ruined that with the bacon and spice.

  • How to cook a stuffed pepper. Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers - Step 1
    Step 1

    Assemble your ingredients!
    2 bell peppers
    1 white or yellow onion
    1 lb. ground turkey
    grated cheese
    bacon bits
    lemon juice
    cajun seasoning
    old bay
    ground pepper
    bread crumbs
    kosher salt
    worcestershire

    I don't normally use quite so many seasonings, but since turkey is bland compared to beef I spiced it up.

    Step 2

    Peel and chop your onion. Wash the peppers, cut off the tops, and scrape out the seeds and innards! If you want, boil them briefly in salted water.

  • Step 3

    Mix together the ground turkey, chopped onion, and seasonings. Add a splash of lemon juice and two of worcestershire and mix some more. This works best if done by hand although it is a bit yicky.
