Stuffed Turkey Peppers

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Wild Rice
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Cups Onions, chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1lb. 99% Lean Ground Turkey Breast
2/3 Cup all-natural low sodium Tomato Juice
1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
10 Grape Tomatoes, halved
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
4 assorted medium sweet bell peppers (red, orange, yellow)
2 oz. part-skim Mozzarella

Directions:
1. Cook rice.

2. Meanwhile, add oil & onions to a large sauté pan over medium-high. Sauté onions for 2 minutes, then add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add turkey, juice, and seasoning. Cook until turkey is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and black pepper, cooking, covered for 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 400.

3. Fill a large pot half-full with water and bring to a boil. Cut tops from peppers and remove all seeds. Add bell peppers & tops to water and return to boil. Cook, covered for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Remove peppers and dry on paper towel.

4. Add cooked rice to turkey mixture. In a glass baking dish, stand bell peppers and fill with turkey-rice mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add top. Bake for 15 minutes.
