Ingredients
Amt.	Measure	Ingredient



6	large (2-1/4 per lb, approx 3-3/4" long, 3" dia)	whole green pepper
2	cups	Rice, brown, medium-grain, cooked
1	small	Onion, chopped
1 1/4	cups pieces or slices	mushrooms, chopped
1	cup	tomato sauce
1 1/2	tablespoons	butter
1	pound	ground turkey (browned and drained)

Steps

Sequence	Step

1	preheat oven to 400 degrees
2	saute chopped mushrooms and onion in butter until onions are translucent.
3	Slice the top off of each of the green peppers, leaving the peppers intact for stuffing. Scoop out the inside of the peppers to remove seeds.
4	In a large bowl, combine the onion and mushroom mixture, the rice, the browned meat, and the tomato sauce (add seasonings like oregano or thyme if you like).
5	Stuff the peppers with the filling, packing it down to make sure the peppers are filled.
6	Stand the peppers in a baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 35 mins. I use a round cake pan for this. If the peppers are unstable, you can tie a loop of cotton string around them to hold them upright while they cook.
