I LOVE ground turkey! When I saw this recipe in Oxygen Magazine's May 2012 issue, I knew that I had to try it! This would make a great snack post workout or pop two of these as a meal a little later on in the day. Don't say I didn't warn you, but you may just want to spice them up a little more than the recipe calls for - my super spicy taste buds were yearning for a little more spice!

Clean Eat Recipe: Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers

Reader Recipe of the Month, Cara Cole-Mahon, Oxygen Magazine, May 2012

Ingredients:

  • 4 bell peppers
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (preferably ground turkey breast or 97/3%)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 c chopped scallion
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp clean jarred tomato sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut bell peppers in half, discarding the seeds.

2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, cooked quinoa, egg whites, scallion and seasonings plus 1 tbsp of tomato sauce. Mix well.

He & She Tip: Add some additional spices - possibly some cayenne pepper to add some spice and flavor. You can also try a clean Arrabiata sauce for more of a kick instead of regular tomato sauce!

3. Stuff each pepper half with the mixture. Top with remaining tomato sauce. Bake for 45 minutes and serve.

1 serving is 2 pepper halves.

Clean Eating Pizza

Main Dish RecipesWhitney Carlson78 Comments

This is, by far, the BEST clean recipe we have tried.  We were both doubting it but gave it a try and we are very glad we did!  The recipe is by Toni Cisneros (she gets all the credit!).  So maybe this picture isn't the best but take our word for it...go to your kitchen & make it NOW! :)

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken breast
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 Tbsp basil
  • 1/2 Tbsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 cup tomato/spaghetti sauce (organic or homemade)
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • ***Your choice of clean toppings.  We have used spinach, red bell pepper, cucumber, onion, & red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix the "crust" (ground chicken breast, Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, egg whites & oats) by hand.

3. Flatten the "crust" on a pizza stone or in a 9X13" pan.

4. Bake the "crust" at 350 degrees for 20 min.

5. Take out the "crust" & add the tomato/spaghetti sauce & spread evenly.

6. Add the cottage cheese on top of the tomato/spaghetti sauce & spread evenly.

7. Add your choice of toppings.

8. Place pizza back in the oven for 10 min or until the cheese is the consistency you prefer.

9. Enjoy!  

He & She Tip: Mix all the spices in a separate bowl & taste test it until you find your desired flavor combo. This will also help to get all the flavors mixed before adding to the meat.

Gluten Free Version: Use Gluten-Free Rolled Oats as an alternative
