Stuffed Peppers(Diabetes)

Some stuffed peppers have a reputation for being bland and soggy,
but not these! That's because we don't precook the colorful bell
peppers before stuffing them, so they'll be crisp-tender when you
dig in. Serve them with green salad or our Crisp & Spicy Cucumber
Salad, or try one of these quick and easy side dishes.

Thanks to the fact that we use extra-lean ground turkey, these

stuffed peppers are on the lighter side. To make them more
accessible, the recipe calls for lactose-free cheese. If nobody at your
table has a dairy intolerance, feel free to use any kind of cheese you
like.

● 5 medium green, red or yellow peppers

 ● 2 teaspoons olive oil
