Some stuffed peppers have a reputation for being bland and soggy, but not these! That's because we don't precook the colorful bell peppers before stuffing them, so they'll be crisp-tender when you dig in. Serve them with green salad or our Crisp & Spicy Cucumber Salad, or try one of these quick and easy side dishes.
Thanks to the fact that we use extra-lean ground turkey, these
stuffed peppers are on the lighter side. To make them more accessible, the recipe calls for lactose-free cheese. If nobody at your table has a dairy intolerance, feel free to use any kind of cheese you like.
● 1-3/4 cups shredded cheddar-flavored lactose-free or other
cheese
● 1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
● 1/4 teaspoon paprika
