Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large green bell peppers, deseeded and halved
- 1/4 yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 lb ground turkey meat (85% lean)
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 14 oz marinara sauce
- 1/2 c. cottage cheese (can sub ricotta)
- 1 egg
- 1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
Instructions
- Saute the turkey meat with the chopped yellow onion. Add the seasonings and salt and saute until browned. Place in a bowl and cool in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- While the turkey meat is sautéing, halve both bell peppers and deseed each of them. Place the four halves into an oven safe dish that can handle being broiled.
- Dump the marinara sauce into the bowl with the cooked turkey meat and mix.
- Add the cottage cheese, 1 egg, and salt and mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Break up the dry noodle sheets into smaller pieces.
- Layer the bell peppers by adding the meaty sauce first. Add the dry noodles on top and repeat. The top layer should be the sauce and then add the other 1/2 c. of cheese to each halve. Place into your oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Broil for a few minutes or until the tops are nicely brown.
- Allow to cool down for 5-10 minutes so the liquids can absorb back into the mix and not be watery on the inside.
