Helpful hints

Use ground turkey breast for the leanest possible filling, but lean ground beef and lean ground pork tenderloin are also heart-healthy fillings.
If you are not on a potassium restricted diet, use a 16-oz. can of crushed tomatoes.
Make a double batch and freeze individual peppers for an easy meal when you don’t feel like cooking.
Stuffed peppers are ubiquitous throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Seasoning and what type of meat with which they are stuffed vary not only from region to region, but within regions. Some use 100% ground beef, others use 100% ground pork, and others use a mixture.
For a lower protein diet you can use one pound of turkey and increase the rice to 3 cups.
