SAUSAGE STUFFED RED BELL PEPPERS



I found some BIG, beautiful red bell peppers at the Farmer's Market. All the peppers are at their peak right now, sweet and delicious. It has been a while since I made stuffed bell peppers so I decided to make them for dinner.

I picked up a pound of spicy Italian turkey sausage at Lazy Acres, mixed it with one egg, added some cheese, chopped chard, and stuffed them. Into the oven for a short time and they are ready to serve. Super simple, super fast, and super good.

                               SPICY ITALIAN TURKEY SAUSAGE STUFFED RED BELL PEPPERS

1 pound spicy Italian turkey sausage

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup cheese blend (white cheese, like mozzarella or a blend is best)

3 red bell peppers, top cut off and inside cleaned

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Mix the sausage with egg, and most of the cheese (save some for topping). I added some chopped chard because I had it but it is great without it.

With a pastry brush brush the inside and out of the bell pepper with olive oil. Fill with the stuffing mixture and bake for 30-45 minutes until stuffing is firm and bell peppers have started to soften.

Sprinkle a little of cheese on top after 30 minutes of cooking time.
