Greek Turkey Stuffed Sweet Peppers - Air Fryer Friendly

 

Greek Turkey Stuffed Sweet Peppers

Ingredients

• 1 lb. of lean turkey (mine was 99)

• 2 tbsp. of minced garlic

• ½  small diced onion

• ½ small diced green pepper (optional)

• Greek Seasoning.  I use Cavender’s Greek Seasoning - they also make a no salt alternative one.

  
  
  

• 10-12 small sweet peppers (the little yellow, orange and red ones)

Preparation

1. Ground Turkey in a bowl and add the garlic, onion, pepper, and seasoning (you can also add very small cut pieces of spinach for extra vegetables and nutrients, I was just out) Mix everything together well.

2. Take 10-12 sweet peppers, cut the tops off and split longways, creating two sides to stuff.

3. Take your turkey mixture and stuff each one, very nicely. I also just sprinkle just a little of the seasoning on top too.

4. Spray your air fryer or your sheet pan. Stuff each one and lay in the air fryer.  For the air fryer load in and turn on 390 for 15 minutes. Do not flip. Just check in on how dark you want them.  The oven just put on sheet pan and start for 375 for 20 minutes and then check for how crispy and dark you like them. I find the longer you go, the pepper starts to get that tasty dark almost carmelized skin.

When finished lift out and let cool a minute. This makes enough for 4 people (5 pepper halves a piece) Serve it with a salad. I had mine with a 90 second Jasmine Rice with spinach and lemon. And a small side salad with cucumbers and tomatoes. 

WW Notes

I always like to leave any information on WW points plus. It is my diet of choice for a few years. 

This was 0 for the peppers, 0 for the turkey, That left me enough for the ½ bag of rice for 7 points and 1 point for the olive oil I used in my dressing.

Air Fryer Stuffed Sweet Peppers

 

Me, again, twice in one day. Still looking and trying use up and waste nothing. Prices are going through the roof. 

This time is The Sweet Peppers that I found hanging in the fridge. They have been used for all kinds of good things this week, but I have about 8 left and I plan on using them up.

This time I take them and split in half. Taking off the top and removing the seeds. 

I look in my fridge and the dip of the day. Really I have a few. I found a cheddar cheese spread my daughter bought for crackers. They used it once and then It became forgotten and I know it was a little pricey.

I took 4 peppers cut in half which gave me 8 halves to fill. I filled with them with the cheddar, a healthy, not over the top smear. I then took the real bacon bits ( I keep a large bag in fridge, they are super handy) and sprinkled them.

They went into a preheated air fryer, 400 for 5 minutes and then check.

The other 4 / 8 halves I filled with the spinach dip and some parmesan sprinkled on top. These also go in air fryer same way as the others.

When you remove them remember they are like lava, the cheese is melty. Let them rest.

I found that I loved the cheddar more than the spinach, but they both were good.

I also left them to share with my husband when he gets home. I left in a container on the counter. They are even more delicious a little cooler. I could have eaten them all, but I need him to try them so I can make them again.

WW BLUE NOTES

This too can be as many points as you put into them. I got away with eating 6 of them and accumulated 4 points for all. They were really good. I can see them as an appetizer or a healthy snack.

I know that Sams Club makes a really friendly buffalo chicken dip. That is for easy. Or just do your own with a can of chicken, buffalo sauce, and a little cream cheese or save points and use a few laughing cows. 

Living your best life and doing what feels good for you is the secret.

Keep it simple,

 Stay well and safe.
