Use this stuffed bell pepper recipe as a way to use up leftover cooked turkey or chicken! If you don't like bell peppers, the filling can be stuffed into pre-baked delicata squash halves instead! Serve with a large romaine lettuce salad for an easy, balanced meal. 

6 medium red bell peppers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small white onion
8 ounces white button mushrooms chopped
3 cloves garlic crushed
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoons Herbamare
½ teaspoons black pepper
2 cups cooked short grain brown rice
3 cups cooked turkey chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
¼ cups parsley chopped
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
