Ground Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers

img_0547
I recently found the pre-made stuffed bell peppers at Trader Joe’s and fell in love. They were a complete meal, and very easy to throw together for dinner. What I didn’t like were the macros. They were high in fat and high in sodium. I figured I could recreate them fairly easily. I will usually make these ahead of time, refrigerate and microwave for a quick dinner on weekdays. Pair these with my favorite side, steamed asparagus, and you have a healthy, nutritious, YUMMY meal. Enjoy!

  • 5 Red Bell Peppers
  • 1C Dice White Onion
  • 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 16oz Lean Ground Turkey
  • 2.5C Cooked Brown Rice
  • 15oz Tomato Sauce No Salt Added
  • 1.25C 2% Milk Grated Cheese (I use Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican)

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

Cook rice according to directions – you need to yield 2.5 cups for this recipe. I will usually cook a large batch for the week and pull from there!

Cut tops off bell peppers and remove seeds and core. Set aside.

In a large sauce pan heat olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.

Add ground turkey and cook thoroughly. Break up the pieces with a spatula as it cooks.

Once the turkey is cooked through remove from heat and let cool. Add the tomato sauce, cooked rice, Mrs. Dash seasoning and cheese. Stir.

My Honest Review of the 3 Day Refresh

Ok – I promised I would give you a blow by blow review of the 3 Day Refresh, and when I would recommend trying it. Spoiler alert! IT WAS FREAKING HARD! This is not something I will be doing all the time, but if you need a swift kick in the butt to get back on track I totally recommend this system.

I was extremely happy with my results, both physically and mentally. I feel energized and excited to get back on track with my healthy eating, and crappy food just doesn’t appeal to me after having done the refresh. I’m down 6.4lbs after the refresh and my bloat is GONE.

Zoodles with Turkey Marinara Sauce

I love spaghetti with meat sauce, but I wanted to find a way to lighten it up without sacrificing the taste. Zoodles, or zucchini noodles, are an amazing way to lower your carb intake and still get the same noodle-like consistency and taste. This is one of my favorite recipes!

  • 4 Zuchinni
  • 16oz Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast
  • 1C Diced Onions
  • 1/2C Chopped Fresh Basil
  • 4C Tomato Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1tsp Oregano
  • 1tsp Parsley
  • 1tsp Crushed Red Pepper (add less or more to vary spiciness)
  • 1/4tsp Rosemary
  • 1tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Parmesean Cheese
  • I steamed the asparagus in the photo above as a side dish!

Cut ends off the zuchinni and spiralize with a spiralizer. I love this one! Set aside.


In a large sauce pan heat olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.

Add ground turkey and cook thoroughly. Break up the pieces with a spatula as it cooks.

Once the turkey is cooked through add the tomato sauce. Mix in basil, oregano, parsley and crushed red peppers. Heat until sauce comes to a boil, about 3 minutes.

Mix in Zoodles. Let Zoodles cook for about 5 minutes or until tender, but still a bit crunchy.

Remove from heat and portion into 4 servings. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!

My “WHY” & The Start of My Journey

Everyone starts their journey to health and fitness for different reasons. I started mine a few months after having my first child. I gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy, but unfortunately I was the heaviest I had ever been prior to getting pregnant. A friend reached out to me to see if I wanted to try the 21 Day Fix with her… and the rest was history!
