My friend Becky came over a few weeks ago and we decided to make a healthy lunch together. She’s an adventurous cook/baker who comes up with healthy but tasty recipes over at Quirky and Plated on Instagram. She suggested stuffed peppers. I asked for a recipe. She responded, “No, just get whatever you like to put in them!” I panicked, I am not creative when it comes to recipes. So I randomly ordered large bell peppers, turkey and a few canned vegetables. Some chopping, sauteeing, and baking later we had a large baking dish full of beautiful super easy turkey stuffed peppers.
How to Make Easy Turkey Stuffed Peppers

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
- 1 LB Ground Turkey
- Black Beans
- Corns
- Mushrooms
- Liquid Amino Acids (I like Trader Joe’s)
Optional:
- Cheese
- Guacamole
- Sour Cream
HOW TO MAKE EASY TURKEY STUFFED PEPPERS:
1. Cook the ground turkey first. I also add a healthy sprinkle of salt and pepper.
2. Sauté the rest of the ingredients in the same pain with amino acids for taste. (You can use any of your favorite ingredients, not just what we used. You can also make it vegetarian but taking out the turkey and adding rice instead.
3. Cut and clean the peppers, cutting in half.
4. Stuff the peppers, place in some pretty cookware, and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
5. Top with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, or all three.
Super simple and yummy! We love adding traditional Mexican spices to stuffed peppers, but using aminos or soy sauce sounds so good too! I’ll have to try this :)
And I’ll have to try the Mexican spices!
These look delicious and healthy – I love peppers, and have wanted to try stuffing them for ages. I will definitely be trying this on the weekend :)
Yay! I hope you love them!
These look super yummy. I like the twist on typical stuffed peppers.
So simple, love it! I bet the liquid aminos adds a good taste.
These look amazing! I haven’t had stuffed peppers in so long, but now I definitely want to make them!
I hope you enjoy them!
I a going to try this recipe. I tried a version of t his before and it was good. I know this would be even better as it has the added ingredient of cheese, guacamole and sour cream
Cheese makes everything better.
I was just craving stuffed peppers and looking for a good recipe. This is so helpful!
Perfect!
I’m always looking for ways to use my black beans so good idea to add them to these stuffed peppers. I’m going to make this as a weeknight dinner. Really easy and delicious too. I love ground turkey (especially as I don’t eat beef) so this is definitely something I know I’m going to love!
I didn’t know I loved ground turkey so much until this. So easy to make!
This looks so easy and a perfect weeknight dinner!
I love stuffed peppers and stuffed pepper soup! My recipe doesn’t have corn. Neat idea.
ooh I’ll have to try the soup.
This recipe sounds delicious I need to try them, I love easy meals like this
Wow, what a yummy dinner idea and it is super easy too, loving all the flavours
I like how you used turkey instead of red meat and the bell peppers add some vitamin c. I will have to try this recipe soon!
I love stuffed peppers! We usually cook them with rice, and other veggies, + cheese since I am vegetarian. But I bet my husband would love to try those!
I love stuffed peppers! This recipe looks so flavorful and delicious.
