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.
Preparation Note
You'll need pre-cooked short grain brown rice for this recipe. I prefer to cook 2 cups of rice at one time so I can have leftovers for quick breakfast stir-fries.
