Low-Carb Lasagna Stuffed Peppers (quick & easy)
Description
This recipe involves preparing a savory filling using ground turkey browned with diced onion, simmered briefly in pasta sauce, then combined with parmesan and cottage cheese for creaminess and flavor depth. The hollowed bell peppers are filled with this mixture, and mozzarella cheese tops the stuffed peppers before baking.
Baking at a moderate temperature allows the cheese to melt and brown while the peppers soften but maintain their shape. The dish brings the layered flavors of lasagna into a stuffed pepper format that is quick to prepare.
These stuffed peppers can be served as a main dish on their own or accompanied by a light salad or vegetable side. The inclusion of cottage cheese and parmesan adds a creamy texture to the meaty filling, and the mozzarella topping forms a golden, bubbly finish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion
- 10 oz pasta sauce
- 10 oz cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 6 bell pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp salt adjsut to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and core. Dice the onion into small pieces.
- In a large skillet, sauté the ground turkey until it's fully cooked. Add in the diced onion and cook until golden brown. Add sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in parmesan and cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff peppers with the meat mixture. Place them side-by-side in a baking dish. Note: You'll want the peppers to touch so they hold each other upright while baking.
- Cover the tops of the stuffed peppers with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and bubbly.
