Ingredients

  • 200g lean turkey mince
  • 2 mixed peppers
  • 80g cooked brown rice
  • ½ of a standard tin of tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Halve the mixed peppers lengthways, remove the seeds and core, and arrange cut-side up in an ovenproof dish.
  2. Cook the lean turkey mince with onion and garlic in a non-stick pan over medium heat, breaking it up, until browned.
  3. Stir in cooked brown rice and tomatoes and season to taste.
  4. Spoon the filling into the pepper halves and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Making it ahead

Cool it, get it into the fridge within one to two hours and eat it within two days; freeze portions you will not reach in time. Cooked rice is stricter: chill it within an hour, keep it for a day at most and reheat it only once. Reheat until steaming hot all the way through. How we handle food safety.
