Hi! I made some delicious stuffed peppers last night and used ‘cauliflower rice’ instead of bread crumbs or regular rice so it’s low carb and gluten free. Bonus: It’s great for the 24 Day Challenge and super easy to make!
This morning I woke up and decided to brave the frigid SoCal cold and get in 8 miles. Yes, I’m dramatic but it has been super cold in the mornings here. It was 55 degrees in my house when I woke up. That’s cold for inside, right?
Post run I attacked an apple, egg whites and toast.
Now let’s talk about these stuffed peppers. I used lean ground turkey and riced cauliflower to make them healthy.
They are clean eating, delicious, easy, gluten free and 24 day challenge approved.
Healthy Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- can crushed tomatoes
- spices – S&P, garlic, 21 seasoning salute
Directions: Heat over to 350 degrees. Cut bell peppers in half, place in baking dish and place in oven to start cooking.
Cook onions until translucent. Add turkey, cook through. Season with your favorite spices (I used the ones above). Add cauliflower. Add crushed tomatoes.
I’m the messiest cook ever.
Season again (the tomatoes need some good salt and spices).
Fill bell peppers with turkey mixture. Finish in oven for a few minutes until heated through.
Optional: Top with cheese. I didn’t have any or I would have.
Tip: Trader Joe’s has riced cauliflower in the salad/veggies section and in the frozen section.
Or you can put raw cauliflower in the food processor and make it yourself.
Omg… I’m hungry right now and that looks so delicious that I wish I could just reach into the laptop screen and eat them. I’m going to have to make this sometime soon!
Yes. I have provolone. 🙂
I will trade the mozzarella in my refrigerator for your 55 degree weather! The average temps in the morning (when I run) and for most of the day during my winters are under 20F.
I don’t want to trade, but you should come over with your cheese!
yeah 55 inside your house is way to cold, put the heat on girl!! ive never used cauliflower rice before…seems weird but interesting…can you tell the different when you put it things like this, like tell its not actual rice?
These look really delicious & simple to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Actually I just found out that my favorite Tilamook sharp cheddar uses vegetarian rennet. So, not only do I have cheese, I have THIS cheese that I feel ok about eating.
The Peppers look super easy and delicious! I would probably use Italian seasoning too!
Totally love that you are doing the 24 day challenge! I have tried twice and failed twice and would love to try it again before my May vaca. You seem like the your recipes/lifestyle fit close with mine so maybe I can just steal all your recipes you use? Best of luck I’m sure you will do it the Monican way and crush ittt ( in a great way)
Thanks! It’s a challenge to eat clean but I feel better already. And if I fall off for a second I get right back on. Let me know if you have questions when you want to try it again.
