After I made these, my husband said: “I didn’t think I liked stuffed peppers, but you can make these any time!” He’s very good about trying things even if he has preconceived notions. :) I added some shredded Mexican blend cheese on top. Great flavor combination and really healthy! We love ground turkey in our house. Thanks for sharing!
