Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers - The High Protein Dinner Dreams Are Made Of

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

So summer is well on its way (how is it April already??) and if you're like me, you might be starting to crave meals that feel a little lighter, a little fresher, and a little more protein-packed.

Over the past few weeks, I've been really trying to increase my protein, cut back a bit on carbs, and find easy dinners that check three boxes:

They have a solid protein count without being too heavy.
They're something I can feed my family without complaints.
They don't take forever, but still taste delicious.

This is harder than it sounds! But this lightened-up stuffed peppers recipe totally fits the bill. A breakaway from classic stuffed peppers, which use ground beef and white rice, this recipe turns to lean ground turkey for the protein and swaps the rice for a lighter, protein-rich quinoa. Brilliant, if I do say so myself!

The best part is, you barely notice the difference (and my family gobbles it right up!).

I've been loving this recipe, and if you're also trying to eat a little healthier before summer, I think you'll love it too.

Bonus - I almost always end up with extra turkey-quinoa filling, which basically gives you a second dinner. Pile it over pasta (or spaghetti squash! or zoodles!), spoon it onto a baked potato, or tuck it into a tortilla. It will make your week that much easier!

Click below to grab the recipe! And let me know if you make it - I'd love to hear how it turned out for you!

Tuesday night tacos (and a playlist to go with them)!

, Hi friends, We’ve been on a big taco kick this summer, which is not exactly unusual for our house. But lately I’ve been making the case for skirt steak tacos over our usual chicken or ground beef situation, and I think I’ve officially converted everyone at the table. Skirt steak is a bit of a splurge, which means when I make it, I want it to feel worth it. These tacos do. The steak gets a quick citrus-and-spice marinade with lime, Worcestershire, cumin, coriander, chili powder and a few...

Today is a hard day.

Hi Reader, Six years ago today, my father passed away from brain cancer. It rocked our family, and it was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. For a few years, I didn’t really know what to do with this day. I would mostly relive those last few days: my family all racing across Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois to get there in time once we knew it was the end. My siblings doing the same from Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago. Spending the last few days holding his (and...

Chicken Piccata, but make it meatballs

Hi Reader, I love chicken piccata as much as the next person, but sometimes I just do not feel like dealing with chicken breasts. The pounding, the dredging, the hoping they don’t turn dry before dinner hits the table. So I turned it into meatballs instead. And let me tell you - I may like this version even better. Pin this for later! You can grab the full Chicken Piccata Meatballs recipe here, but let me tell you why I’m obsessed. These Chicken Piccata Meatballs have all the good stuff:...
