I’ve been making stuffed peppers for a long time. And recently I’ve become obsessed with mini peppers for snacking (I am so over carrots right now). The other night I combined them to make mini stuffed peppers. These would be a great appetizer or potluck dish!
You can really make them your own by cooking your go-to ground turkey seasonings (or meat option of your choice). I had leftover spaghetti sauce and decided combining it with the mini peppers would be a great healthy snack or light meal.
Healthy Mini-Stuffed Peppers Recipe
The filling: ground turkey cooked with garlic, S&P, onions, jar of marinara sauce <- you can use your favorite meat and sauce option.
To build the mini stuffed peppers: Cut each pepper length wise and clean out the little seeds.
Tip: You can tap the peppers hard on the cutting board and most of the seeds fall out.
Fill eat mini pepper with the cooked turkey & sauce mix. Top with green onions, cheese or whatever you like.
Most of the time you bake the bell peppers when making traditional stuffed peppers. But I love the combination of the sweet crunch of the minis and the savory filling. I didn’t bake or cook them to soften at all.
Enjoy!
The mini stuffed peppers were delicious but the super cheap but high alcohol wine I found the other day was just okay. I like sweet wine and this wasn’t sweet enough for me. Now you know.
And in RUNNING updates – I did a great tempo run this morning!! It was the best. I needed that for my soul.
I did 6 tempo miles but had to stop a few times at the end of half mile or mile splits because I BROKE MY MUSIC!!?!
I think I accidently deleted a bunch of songs on my phone because I kept getting that “Storage Full” message and I just went wild deleting a ton of random folders. Now it just keeps ‘thinking’ for a bunch of the songs. Has this ever happened to you?
But to make it better I saw some baby ducks this morning. Love.
I ran 5 hellish miles this morning because, Florida but it was all good. I guess I’m used to the heat.
I stream my favorite Pandora stations when I run but if my music broke I’d lose my ish.
I got in a run with sprinting intervals this morning at 4am… hoping I dont crash soon!!
Early day! You are a rock-star 🙂
The stuffed peppers are a great idea because they also portion size the food for you. 🙂
Yeah! And I feel like the crunch of the peppers is really satisfying when you eat them.
These sounds delicious and great for an event for appetizer or bite size snack! I had the music issue at mile 16 of the BOSTON MARATHON! – so I feel you! I tried to connect to Spotify or Apple Music or anything else and it wasn’t working. It was like my phone revolted. I took my earbuds out, shoved them in my pocket (slightly irritated), and leaned into the crowd support – it was the best thing that could have happened!
I walked a ton and then put on my boxing gloves and punched my heavy bag. Hadn’t done that is a very long time. It felt good!
I have used up the storage on my phone MANY TIMES. It always causes problems with my music and then I go in and start deleting apps that I believe I don’t need at the time but actually do (I mean I don’t need Pinterest but….) As soon as the storage is freed up it usually gets better!
