Serves-4
4 very large green bell peppers (or red bell peppers if desired)
2 small onions chopped
1 pound 99% lean ground turkey or 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, fat removed, sliced thin
4 cups cooked brown rice (if you want low or lower carbohydrates, don't use the rice or use 2 cups of cooked rice instead for about 17-20 grams of carbohydrates per serving)
2 tsp fresh garlic, minced (I use more because I love garlic-maybe 3 gloves
1 tsp oregano
1 cup fat-free tomato paste (low or no sodium are always good options so you can add as much or as little salt as you want)
sea salt and pepper to taste
(optional, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder, or Italian Seasoning)
Cut tops off bell peppers, then remove seeds and white membranes. Microwave peppers and tops for eight minutes on high.
In a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute onions and turkey or chicken until meat is tender, no longer pink in center, and juices run clear.
Add all other ingredients in a skillet and mix well.
Fill peppers with turkey or chicken mixture and replace tops.
Bake in a 350* oven for 30 minutes.
