Recipes : Leftover Turkey and Couscous Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

• 1 cup turkey or chicken broth (separated)
• 2/3 cup of Whole Wheat Couscous (124g)(available in the store)
• 1/2 of a red onion diced (about 110g)
• small zucchini diced (about 130g)
• Salt & Pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground sage
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 6oz leftover cooked turkey meat shredded and diced
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves (60g)
• 4 medium peppers
• Non-stick cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Apply give 2 / 3 of the broth to a boil in a saucepan.

Remove from heat, add the couscous and set aside. Cut the pepper rounds, clean the seeds and roast for 10 minutes.

Spray a large (and I mean big) kitchen with cooking spray and cook onion over medium heat for a few minutes so that they become soft. Add zucchini, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the zucchini just begins to register. Add turkey and couscous cooked in the pot.

Sprinkle with sage and thyme. Mix meat makes it warm. The remaining broth if pan looks dry.

Spinach last, stirring until it just begins to wilt.

Remove the peppers from the oven, with the couscous mixture and bake for 5 minutes to fill. I was with a side of sweet potato curry, yum!
