Paleo Turkey Stuffed Peppers

My husband and I have recently started to eat Paleo. Don’t know what Paleo is? Basically: eat what a caveman would eat, but these days it’s a little more gourmet. If you can grow it or kill it – you’re good. I made these Paleo Turkey Stuffed Peppers tonight for dinner and they were delicious. Plus they were super quick! Talk about an easy recipe and a low calorie dinner when you don’t have much time to cook.

Paleo Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

1lb ground turkey
2 cups organic marinara sauce (I used Catelli Organics)
1 tbsp basil
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 cups spinach
3 red bell peppers

Method

Pre-heat to 450

Cook up the ground turkey and add marinara and spices. Let simmer for the flavors to incorporate. In the mean time, take the tops off the peppers, slice them in half and de-seed them.

Add spinach to turkey mixture and stir until wilted.

Distribute the turkey evenly to the halved red peppers and bake for 25 minutes.

151 calories for each half!

I have made many versions of this recipe, if you don’t have some of these ingredients – no big deal. Use whatever it is that you have on hand: carrots, corn, green peppers: it’s all good.
