So Delicious! Fresh Green Peppers stuffed with a savoury mix of turkey, rice and portobello mushrooms. And it’s only $9 for 4 servings! The bonus is it’s under 250 Calories.
Who says ground turkey has to be bland?
There are quite a few steps in this recipe but some can be done simultaneously (like boiling the water while you slice and dice) And I know I promised no pictures of things cooking but it was COVID and it’s the only one!
