These stuffed peppers are a great way to switch up your weeknight dinner routine. They're easy to make and perfect for meal prep. Plus, they're a fun way to eat more veggies! You can use any color bell pepper you like, but I like to use a mix of colors for a fun and colorful dish. The filling is a delicious combination of ground turkey, rice, and spices. It's hearty and satisfying, and the sauce adds the perfect amount of flavor. These stuffed peppers are also a great option if you're following a gluten-free diet. They're filling and flavorful, and the slow cooker makes them super easy to prepare. You can also cook them on the stove if you're short on time. Serve them with a side salad or some roasted veggies for a complete meal. Don't forget to top with grated parmesan cheese and parsley for a delicious and nutritious weeknight dinner.
