2 tablespoons Olive oil
1/2 cup Mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup Onions, chopped

1-1 1/4 lb Lean ground turkey (I use 93% lean)
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can Tomato sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

On stovetop in a medium skillet or saucepan, sautee mushroom, onion, celery and garlic in olive oil until veggies are soft; remove from heat.

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl,combine ground turkey, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.

Add sautee veggie mixture to turkey mixture; mix well.

Stuff peppers with turkey/veggie mix and place in an ungreased shallow casserole dish.

In a small bowl, combine undrained tomatoes and tomato sauce; pour over peppers to cover.

it was good, just you need to prepare to let it cook for 50 minutes and for me it felt like for ever and prep time was long too. so if you have time to make it, i recommend it.
