Dinner with Lovely Laurel



What an amazing night with my lovely friend Laurel Curran! We decided to make turkey stuffed bell peppers with feta cheese, accompanied by edamame. Below is the recipe if you’re interested:
Recipe: Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers with Feta Cheese
Cut tops off of peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Save pepper tops.
Bring a large pot of covered water with a dash of salt to boil, add peppers, re-cover, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain upside down on paper towels.
In small pot, cook 1/2 cup of brown rice in 1 1/4 cup water, set aside once rice has soaked up all water.

Finely chop the garlic and the onion. Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large skillet. On medium/low heat, add garlic to skillet first, then onion. Cook while stirring for about 3 minutes. Lower heat if the garlic starts to brown. Add the spinach afterwards.

Meanwhile, cook ground turkey in a separate, smaller skillet.

Stir in cooked rice and turkey to vegetable mixture. Stir in a few tablespoons of feta cheese. Add black pepper to taste. Spoon mixture into peppers (fill them up!)

Stand peppers upright in deep baking dish and sprinkle feta cheese on top. Cover dish and place in preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

Serve immediately! For an added garnish, put the pepper tops back on top to serve. One stuffed pepper is about one serving. Enjoy! Oh an also, top with cholula at the end if you like a little kick!
