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)

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
