October 14, 2015 – Bell peppers stuffed with ground turkey, mushrooms, and farro

This is an earlier dinner of stuffed peppers. I was too excited by my results to remember to take a picture before I ate them.

This is an earlier dinner of stuffed peppers. I was too excited by my results to remember to take a picture before I ate them this time.

Tonight for dinner I prepare red bell peppers stuffed with farro,  ground turkey, mushrooms, and various herbs.  It is really delicious.  I whiz up the mushrooms in the food processor until they are the size of the farro pieces or the broken apart bits of ground turkey. First brown the ground turkey. Using the same pan, cook the mushroom pieces until they are dry and browned, then cook the onions and garlic, hot chiles, thyme and be sure to season everything as you go along. Mix your precooked farro (or brown rice), the meat, and vegetable mixture.  Add spaghetti sauce to a moist consistency. Put some sauce in the bottom of a baking dish, put in the blanched bell pepper halves, add about 3/4 cup of the meat mixture on the pepper halves and finish with a little more sauce over the top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1/2 hour. This has been the best rendition of the recipe. The combination of the ground turkey and the mushrooms gives it a real meaty flavor. Yum.

Of course in my excitement to eat this dish, I forget to take a picture.
