| Ripe orange bell peppers... halve, remove stalk and seeds,..cook for 3 mins in boiling salted water and drain well |
 |
| The base for the filling, onions, garlic, carrots, onions, celery, rutabagas..process small then saute in a little olive oil adding water or stock until tender |
 |
| Add the fresh ground turkey to the filling mix and allow the turkey to cook and soak up the flavors of the vegetables..adding canned chopped tomatoes (ratio: for 4 servings,1 pound ground turkey to 1 pound mixed vegetables to 1 CUP chopped tomatoes in juice) |
 |
| Add herbs of choice..dried oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary & etc. and allow to marinade overnight |
 |
| Make a marinara* sauce (*wine optional) and add some sliced mushrooms, use this as the base for the dish, add the cooked bell pepper halves |
 |
| Top with the cooked turkey and vegetable mix..pile high |
 |
| Top with fresh basil leaves and cheese (optional) |
 |
| to be baked, covered in a preheated 350f oven for 30-40 mins..serve with couscous or cooked brown rice |
This is a wonderful and light, gluten-free dish (if served with rice instead of couscous), and you may substitute any ground meat other than turkey, but if using chicken use dark meat for a moister finished dish.
You can also add cooked brown rice to the turkey filling and or raisins..for a more Sicilian flavor.
