The best bit? You can also adapt our Mexican Turkey Stuffed Peppers to be vegetarian if you like by switching out the turkey mince for tofu, lentils, or a meat alternative. Plus, you can throw any left-over veg in from your fridge into the mixture, so they are great to help reduce food waste and increase your veggie intake.

Ingredients:

  • 80g turkey mince
  • 125g cooked Mexican rice
  • 30g light cheddar cheese, grated

Method:

Preheat oven to 200c.
Cut the tops off the peppers and deseed them.
Place the peppers onto a baking tray and cover with a few sprays of low-calorie oil spray.
Next, heat a frying pan with a few sprays of low-calorie oil spray, add the turkey mince and fry for 4 – 5 minutes.
Add the diced red onion and crushed garlic, frying for a further 2 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, diced tomato, lime juice and rice with a splash of water and simmer for 3 minutes mixing all the ingredients together well.
Stuff the peppers with the turkey mince mixture and top with the grated cheese.
