Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 cups basmati or brown rice (cooked; roughly ¾ cups uncooked)
• 6 bell peppers
• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 2 cups cheese (shredded; mozzarella or cheddar work)

Serving Suggestions

• fresh tomatoes or salsa
• avocado slices
• fresh green onions or cilantro
• tortilla chips

Instructions

Instructions

1. Cook rice according to package directions; set aside to cool.
2. Cut tops off bell peppers so that you have a 1.5-2 inch hole in the tops.
3. Using a toothpick, poke 3-4 holes towards the bottom of the bell peppers.
4. In a large bowl, stir together the cooled rice, ground turkey, taco seasoning and 1 ¼ cups of cheese.
5. Spoon filling into the bell peppers. Press it right in using a spoon.
6. Arrange filled bell peppers in a 6 quart slow cooker; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
7. Cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until cooked through. You can check using an instant read thermometer that the filling has reached 165°F in the middle.
