Usually, my meal prep happens on Sunday afternoons-- right after I've gone grocery shopping and am gearing up for the week ahead. This week, I got a late start because I was away for the weekend. But better late than never... I have the most delicious stuffed peppers to eat for work lunches through Friday!

I tweaked the recipe to make them amazingly healthy. I'm on TV from the time I get to work until it's time for me to go home--so whatever I pack is what I'm forced to eat. A blessing in disguise! And the healthier I eat, the happier I am about anchoring in a fitted news dress in front of thousands of viewers :) These are full of flavorful ground turkey, veggies, brown rice and cheesy goodness. Bon appetit!

INGREDIENTS
5 bell peppers (whichever colors you prefer)
1 pound lean, ground turkey
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 small can of tomato sauce
1 packet of microwaveable long-grain, wild rice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of nonfat Mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS
Cut the tops off the peppers and throw out the insides.
Dice the tops so you save 1/2 cup of pepper to add later.
Cook the whole peppers in salted, boiling water for 5 minutes to soften.
In skillet, cook ground turkey, diced peppers and onion until browned and tender. Drain off fat.
To turkey mixture: add salt, Worcestershire and tomato sauce to your liking.
Add microwaved rice packet to the stuffing.
Stir in cheese and stuff peppers with the mixture.
In a baking dish, bake peppers at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Top with cheese the last few minutes.

Dinner is served, my friends! In total, this recipe takes about 45 minutes. Would love to hear your versions!
