Stuffed Pepper Casserole

I love stuffed peppers, but sometimes I feel like when I just cut them apart it is a waste of time to stuff them in the first place, so I decided to skip that step altogether and make this simple meal into an even simpler version. This casserole is all of the yummy goodness of stuffed peppers without the hassle of cutting the perfect pepper and stuffing it with only a little bit of mixture.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Lean Ground Turkey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or chopped

  • 1 white onion, diced

  • 3 bell peppers (any color will work, I like to do one red, one yellow, and one orange just to add some extra color)

  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  • 1 can Rotel drained (any tomato or green chile)

  • 1 jar organic pasta sauce

  • Sprinkle of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese for topping

How to make:

  • In a skillet cook the garlic and onions until lightly browned.

  • Add in the ground turkey and cook until golden brown.

  • Next, add the diced peppers, Rotel, and fresh spinach.

  • Once you have mixed all of the ingredients in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes, transfer the mixture to a large baking pan.

  • Sprinkle a light amount of cheese on top and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Dish it out, have seconds, enjoy every bit!
