As coronavirus continues to evolve globally, it’s more important than ever to practice social distancing and flatten the curve. Since New York is basically shut down, I’ve been spending all my days inside, doing lots of experimenting in the kitchen!
Today I’m sharing one of my go-to recipes: ground turkey stuffed peppers. I can’t believe I haven’t made stuffed peppers until now. They are so easy, healthy, and above all, delicious! Mine have a little twist as they’re made with ground turkey instead of ground beef, but they’re just as good. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!
