After today, you’re going to think I might have a slight food addiction to stuffed peppers.  Haha!  Last year I shared recipe we’ve been making for years.  These Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers are a Weight Watchers recipe we recently tried — and they’re amazing as well!  Let’s face it — a stuffed bell peppers healthy recipe that the whole family can enjoy is a TRIUMPH (wink wink).

My mom shared this with me after she made it for dinner one night.  I guess everyone was surprised as to how good they were.  Of course that peaked my interest.

For these, the rice is uncooked.  Sounds a little crazy, right?  That’s what I thought.  However, there’s enough moisture in the mixture of the stuffed pepper that you won’t need to cook it first.  Of course it will need to be in the oven a little longer, but that’s not a big deal if you plan ahead.

The dill adds incredible flavor!  I guess I don’t use a lot of dill when I cook, but these Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers really brought a love for dill to the surface.

One of my favorite pairings with stuffed peppers is corn.  I have no idea why, but it is.  And thankfully, corn is a zero point food on Weight Watchers, so it won’t add any additional points.

Ready to fire up the oven?  I’m anxious to hear what you think!  Enjoy.

  • 3/4 cup chopped or diced uncooked onion, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic, divided
  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp dill, finely chopped
  • 15 oz canned crushed tomatoes, divided

  • Loosely stuff peppers with filling (leaving room for rice to expand) -- add about 3/4 c in each and nestle peppers in baking dish.  
  • Spoon tomato sauce on and around peppers in baking dish. 
  • Cover dish tightly with foil; bake until peppers are tender and rice is cooked, approximately 75 to 90 minutes.
