1/4 to 1/2 lb of orzo-cooked
14 oz Italian tomatoes
small box of mushrooms
5 oz feta cheese
1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
1-2 tbsp minced garlic
Breadcrumbs
Parmesan cheese
4-6 sweet peppers, depending on size
Brown turkey with garlic, red pepper flakes to taste and Italian seasoning. Meanwhile cook orzo according to package.
When meat is done remove from pan and saute mushrooms.
Add the meat back to the pan and add the tomatoes, orzo, and feta.
Fill peppers with mixture and top with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Place in baking dish with about 2 cups of water at the bottom of pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 min, uncover and bake 10-15 mins more or till peppers are fork tender.
I really liked the orzo in these instead of rice. I used green and red peppers, but next time I will probably use yellow or orange. To me the green had no flavor and the red was overpowering. The kids LOVED the filling.
When selecting the peppers if they are small I would use at least 6, maybe 8. If they are larger you might be able to get away with just 4. It made a lot of the stuffing so I ended up with some left over.
