Instructions

Pre-roast Peppers

  1. Heat the oven to 190C electric or 375F.
  2. Halve the peppers lengthways, then remove the seeds and core. Rub the peppers with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place into a casserole dish and roast in the oven for 15 minutes to soften.

Make The Filling

  1. In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 2 - 3 minutes, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
  2. Add the ground turkey meat and cook until no longer pink, about 4 - 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cauliflower rice, chopped mushrooms, tomato puree, Italian herbs, salt and pepper and cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the moisture absorbs and the meat turns golden brown. Stir through ¼ cup cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley.

Assemble And Bake

  1. Remove the peppers from the oven and fill them with the turkey filling. Top with the remaining shredded cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden.

Notes

  • 4g net carbs per pepper half. Makes 6 stuffed peppers.
  • 2 turkey stuffed pepper halves are a main meal. This means the recipe makes 3 full servings at 8.8g net carbs each.
  • I used ground turkey leg meat because it has more flavor. It also works with breast meat, which is leaner.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
