and it also keeps you fuller longer.. :) 

Yes it does and good for you!!  

I want your recipe, PLEASE! 

mmm sounds tasty! 

Yummm - that does sound excellent! Love seeing the scale move for you, too! 

Sounds good! I wish my family would eat peppers, I'd probably make those all the time! 

I love stuffed peppers! I've never made them with ground turkey before, though. What an inventive recipe! Sounds great, Jessa! 

Ingredients: 2 large green peppers, tops and seeds removed(I use yellow peppers for mine because I do not like green). 1 pound ground turkey 2 small onion, chopped (I skip this, not supposed to have onions). 2 garlic clove, minced (I used 6 teaspoons minced). 4 tablespoons butter or margarine (I use county crock). 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use just a few grindings). 1/8 teaspoon pepper (I use about 10 grindings). 1 cup milk (Fat Free). 1/2 cup chopped tomato (I skip this, not supposed to have tomatoes - I did throw some in the middle of hubby's pepper & he liked, I added extra chopped yellow pepper to mine). 8 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese (used reduced fat) , divided. Directions: 1. In a large saucepan, cook peppers in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside. (I did not do this last night so they would not be over cooked & they were perfect! {made both ways & we prefered NOT blanched}) 2. In a skillet, cook the turkey, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Return turkey mixture to skillet. Stir in tomato and 4 tablespoons cheese; heat through. Spoon into peppers; sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place in a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until peppers are tender and filling is hot I served with 1 cup brown rice and 3/4 cup Jasmine Rice. The extra meat mixture that does not fit in the peppers, we put over the rice. Yummy! Hubby was surprised he like them because he does not like cooked peppers much. But he only had them the italian way before (stuffed and boiled in red gravy {tomato sauce}).
