This was really good. It was different than your typical stuffed peppers. I made mine with ground turkey because I don't eat red meat, and it was delish! My husband thought it was beef and thanked me. (He gets tired of poultry and I didn't tell him. ;) I also used fresh spinach because it was what I had and I used cooked brown rice instead of bread crumbs. What makes this recipe so good, I think, is the oregano, stewed tomatoes, and feta (I use Dodoni Greek feta from sheep which is the best feta in my world) Thank you Chef Feiny.
