Ingredients

  • 4 large green bell peppers
  • 1 lb turkey
  • 1.5 cup brown rice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.25 cup basil

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
