Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz. extra lean ground turkey 99/1
- 16 oz. mild Italian sausage
- 5 bell peppers
- 1/2 cup onion, diced (75g)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, diced (35g)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup cooked rice 4 oz.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 oz. parmesan cheese
- 3 oz. part skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and arrange 5 oven safe containers on a cookie sheet.
- Slice the tops of the peppers off so they will fit in the meal prep bowls (set the tops aside, you will use these later). Rinse well, place 1 in each bowl and spray with some cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Over medium high heat, cook the sausage and turkey until no longer pink. Add the onions, mushrooms, and leftover bell pepper (dice up the tops around the stem).
- Cook for 3-5 minutes until the veggies are soft.
- Add the seasonings, tomato sauce, paste, rice, and parmesan cheese. Mix well and stuff in peppers. Top with the mozzarella cheese and place back in the oven another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Let cool before covering with lids and placing in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.
