Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Using Turkey lowers the fat of the traditional stuffed peppers--and helps use up those leftovers! Vegetarians may substitute the ground turkey with TVP (textured vegetable protein) and a little extra seasoning in the water when hydrating the TVP to make a delicious, vegetarian substitution.

Cut off tops of green peppers; remove seeds and membrane. Mix turkey with rice, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and pepper. Mix half of tomato sauce with turkey mixture, then spoon mixture into peppers; cover.

Place in microwave and cook 18 to 22 minutes, giving dish quarter-turn every 5 minutes. Add water and remaining tomato sauce.

Sprinkle cheese over each pepper. Recover and return to microwave. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts.

To freeze: Place in microwave-safe container; label and freeze for up to 2 months. To serve: Thaw. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap, and cook on high 3 to 5 minutes.

Per serving: 2 complete food blocks each serving, makes 6 servings.
