Submitted by: Isabel De Los Rios

Ingredients

2 bell pepper, any color, fresh, organic
1/2 lbs. turkey, ground, grass-fed or pastured, organic
0.5 med. onion, any type, organic
1 clove garlic, fresh, organic
1 c. tomatoes, diced, fresh, organic
0.5 med. zucchini, fresh, organic
1 egg, omega-3, cage-free, organic
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, crushed, organic
1/2 tsp. sea salt, unrefined and pure

Directions

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Cut tops off peppers (don't throw them out!), and scoop out the seeds. Brown meat in large skillet. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and cook for 4 minutes. Add chopped zucchini and cook 3 minutes. Remove meat mixture from heat. Add tomatoes, spices, and egg and mix well. Place peppers in a glass baking dish. Spoon meat mixture evenly into peppers. Bake for 30-40 minutes until peppers are slightly browned. (Keep an eye on the peppers, as this can happen quickly.)
