Equipment

Slow cooker
Non-sitick frying pan
Knife
Spoon
Bowl
Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

6 large bell peppers tops cut off and hollowed out
2 lbs ground turkey
1 cup cooked rice
2 medium onions chopped
1 tbsp oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
8 oz tomato sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup water adjust to add to tomato sauce

Instructions

Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked rice, sautéed onions, salt, and pepper.
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and scoop out the seeds and membranes to make them hollow.
Divide the filling evenly among the peppers, stuffing each one fully. Place them upright in the slow cooker and cover each with its top as a lid.
In a bowl, pour the tomato sauce, then add four cans of water (using the empty tomato sauce can to measure). Add sugar and stir to combine.
Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the stuffed peppers in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours, until peppers are tender and flavors are melded.

Notes

For a stovetop version, place stuffed peppers in a heavy-bottomed pot, cover with tomato sauce mixture, bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 1 hour.
