Ingredients

4-Large green peppers or red peppers, seeded, cored and sliced in half lengthwise
2 Tbsp- Olive oil

1-1¼ lb- Lean ground turkey (I use 93% lean)

¼ tsp- Garlic powder
1tsp- Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste
1-(14 ½ ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1-(8 oz) can tomato sauce (look at the carbs & sugar)-> NO SUGAR
Feta cheese as a topping but only 1oz per serving on phase 1&2 remember the feta cheese is your 1oz of daily allowance of dairy!

Preparation
On stovetop in a medium skillet or saucepan, sautee mushrooms, onion, celery and garlic in olive oil until veggies are soft; remove from heat.

Meanwhile, in a medium-mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper

Add sautee veggies mixture to turkey mixture; mix well

Stuff peppers with turkey/veggie mix and place in an ungreased shallow casserole dish

In a small bowl combine undrained tomatoes and tomato sauce; pour over peppers to cover

Sprinkle with feta cheese and Italian seasonings; cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes.

Uncover, sprinkle with feta and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browned
