Stuffed peppers usually have a spicy Mexican-style filling – but not today, my friends. We’re changing it up with this absolutely delicious high protein alternative to enjoy your breakfast egg(s) – fashioned in this adorable red pepper “cup.” Even better: they are a cinch to make with very little cleanup. Enjoy! ?

 


 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tsp coconut oil
• 6 oz 99% lean ground turkey
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup mushrooms, diced
• 1/4 cup onion, diced
• 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
• 1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 red peppers
• salt and pepper

 

PREPARATION

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

• Slice top off each pepper to form your cups for the filling. Put peppers on a baking sheet open side up. Set aside.

• Heat skillet over medium-high heat and melt coconut oil.

• Add onion and mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown.

• Add ground turkey, salt, pepper, and fennel seeds, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink.

• Add spinach leaves and cook for one more minute.

• Divide the mixture in half into each of the pepper cups. Layer each with 2 tbsp of mozzarella cheese and then crack 1 egg over the top of each pepper.

• Bake for about 20 minutes or until peppers are tender and eggs are firm. Enjoy!
