There are plenty of ways to make stuffed peppers, depending on what you’re looking for. A classic version is made with beef and rice, covered with tomato sauce and cheese, and yields a hefty dish with soft peppers. There’s nothing wrong with this, but I wanted to make something a little lighter, with the pepper having a bit of a bite. I used ground turkey, skipped the rice to make these grain free, and skipped the cheese to keep them a bit lighter. A dab of sour cream before serving cuts the heat a bit, while still keeping it from being super heavy. It’s a much quicker version, so dinner’s on the table faster. You still get a filling meal and if you serve it with a green salad, it rounds it out perfectly.
For the seasoning, I used Ava’s Favorite Burger seasoning. This blend is bold and zesty, which means you don’t need a lot of other additions to be tasty. I love seasoning blends for exactly this reason — no measuring a bunch of spices, and no guessing games. This is a necessity on busy nights when you don’t want a lot of cleanup.
