Turkey Stuffed Baked Peppers

We made these tonight. They were good and filling, I did not need the broccoli! We did two red peppers and two green peppers. They reminded us of a turkey meatball in a pepper. I would add some red pepper flake in these to give them a bit of zing next time. We have already planning our next batch of these doing a Mexican version. Replacing the Italian seasoning with cumin and chili powder and the pasta sauce with fresh salsa. I will post once we make them!
