Meatloaf Stuffed Bell Peppers
This delicious and lightened meal is the perfect go-to meal. It also makes really great meal prep as it reheats so well.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- bowl for mixing
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- ¼ cup panko
- ½ cup crushed tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon worchestershire
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 bell peppers
Ketchup Glaze
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar or honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment if you are using it. I like it for easy cleanup.
- Wash your bell peppers, cut off the tops, and remove the seeds and veins.
- Cut the bell peppers into rings, mine were about ¾-inch. Place the rings on your baking sheet.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients, except the ketchup topping, in a large bowl. Mix well to combine. Divide the meatloaf mixture between the bell pepper rings.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. While it is baking, combine the ketchup and brown sugar. You can also use honey here if you prefer.
- After 15 minutes of baking, remove and spread each meatloaf ring with the ketchup mix. Place back in the oven and bake another 5-10 minutes. I like to set it on broil for the last minute or 2, just to slightly caramelize the ketchup on top.
- That is it! They are done. Sit back and enjoy. You deserve it.
- These also make great meal prep as they reheat really well in the microwave.
