Stuffed Bell Peppers
A great way to do home cooked meals and not heat up your kitchen, is to use a plank or
other means to cook on your BBQ. It is not just for grilling.

3 peppers come in a bag and that is perfect for this recipe to make 5 portions.

Directions:
Pre heat your bbq up to about 300 degrees. If using charcoal, I like to put a little hickory, apple or cherry wood on the coals.
1. To make the filling, brown the turkey meat and then add the onions, red pepper flakes
garlic.
2. Add the water and incorporate into the mix, bring to a simmer.
Add the catsup, tomato sauce, pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
3. Place mix in a bowl and let cool for a few minutes and then add the brown rice and cheese
4. Clean the bell peppers and you can either stuff the whole pepper and top with the lid or cut the peppers in half to make 2 vessels for the mix.
5. Divide the mix into the peppers and place on a wood plank.
Cook with indirect heat on the BBQ till the peppers are firm (about 45 min to 1 hr. ) They should be
160 degrees internal temperature.
One option is to leave the rice out of the mix and serve it on the side. This way you can meet the needs of the "Carb-Free" diets and those like myself that need the carbs.
