I never cared much for stuffed peppers until I tasted this recipe. Homemade cornbread or corn pudding is a nice accompaniment to this dish.

  • Like AlDente, I didn't precook ingredients. Try making with lean turkey Italian sausage instead of plain ground turkey. Perks it up even more.

  • I would like to have size of can of tomatoes? I want to try this also. And parboiling bell peppers? Maybe blanching them, but to actually cook them? I like to serve a whole stuffed pepper for each person, so I would think they would be mush if boiled that long and they would fall apart. But I might be wrong.

  • I have been making and freezing stuffed peppers for years. I always parboil the peppers but 5 min is too long. About 3 is good. Otherwise they are too hard. Ive precooked ingredients and not precooked, and precooked is better. Out of the freezer, heat, and they are ready.

  • I've not made this recipe yet, but I agree with AlDente that I would not par boil or pre cook anything either. It does sound very good.

  • I liked this recipe though I did not parboil the peppers. I sustituted Minute Rice, didn"t precook any of the stuffing ingredients, increased bsking time to 30-40 mins and it was great!
