  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice, cooked

  • 1 can Redpack Canned Diced Tomatoes 28 oz, drained

  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 2/3 cup feta cheese
  • 4 large red bell peppers, color of your choosing, tops removed, ribs and seeds removed

Instructions

Step one

Preheat the oven to 400º F.  

Step two

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot add the turkey, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper, and sauté until the meat is just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Let the turkey cool just slightly and add the rice, tomatoes, sage, thyme and half of the cheese. Stir to combine all the ingredients.  

Step three

Rub the red peppers with the remaining oil inside and out and season the outside of the pepper with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step four

Divide the filling among the peppers. Press and pack the mixture into the the peppers so that all of the filling is used and comes just over the top of the peppers. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and top with the almonds. Bake uncovered in an 8×8 casserole dish until the pepper has softened but still holds it’s shape and the center is hot and the cheese is golden brown about 35 to 40 minutes.

Step five

Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
