EASY, 190-CALORIE TURKEY STUFFED PEPPERS

Turkey Stuffed Peppers – With only 190 calories per pepper half, I usually only need one to feel satisfied (and don’t worry, they also freeze well). I just make these on their own; I don’t even create a side dish with it. They taste great and are incredibly simple to make.

Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Half a pepper is considered one serving, which, although it may not seem like much, is incredibly filling. A serving contains roughly 20 grams of protein and 190 calories. Not bad, then. This is far too filling to serve with a side because it is so substantial on its own. When I made this for the first time and attempted to serve a side dish with it, the side dish was left unfinished as leftovers for the following night.

I wholeheartedly urge you to try this recipe because it served as the model for Zach’s favorite dish, stuffed pepper soup.
