Recipe: Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Made this for dinner a couple nights ago and loved it!  My kids don't like cooked peppers but they both ate the filling.  Hubby said it was great and worthy of the "do over" list!

Turkey Stuffed Peppers

1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey (I used 95% lean)
1 garlic clove, minced (we love garlic so I used more!)
1/4 onion, minced (again, I used more)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (I used parsley, not a big fan of cilantro)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
3 large sweet bell peppers, washed (I used 4 medium size)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup tomato sauce (I used 1/2 cup or a little more)
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (I used one of those packets you can microwave in 90 seconds, said it was about 2 cups and I used the whole thing)
Olive oil spray
6 tablespoons part skim cheddar cheese (I used Kraft fat free cheddar)

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Lightly spray olive oil on a skillet and heat over medium heat.  Add minced garlic, onion and parsley and sauté for a couple of minutes.  Add turkey, garlic powder, cumin and salt and cook until meat is completely cooked through.  Add tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of chicken broth and simmer on low for about 5 minutes.  Add rice and mix.  Cut peppers lengthwise and clean out.  Fill pepper halves with the meat/rice mixture and place in a 9"x13" baking dish.   Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese.  Pour the remainder of the chicken broth in the bottom of the baking dish.  Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 45 minutes.  Serve right away.

**I made this in advance and just baked it later in the day.  It was delicious!

Here are my photos...  It might not be pretty but it was yummy!
