About the Recipe

These Unstuffed Pepper Bowls made with Ground Turkey and Cauliflower Rice are seriously tasty and they couldn’t get any easier! These unstuffed peppers can be ready in 20 minutes, that definitely beats the traditional prep and time of the regular stuffed peppers. They taste just like an inside out stuffed pepper and they’ll definitely to leave you craving more!

Christie's Take

When I say quick and easy comfort, nutrient dense food, you'll be fueled for any workout and strong against seasonal sicknesses, including that summer cold ( kinda sense does a summer cold make?) This vitamin C, A, antioxidant rich, protein packed recipe is easy to make ahead and reheat for those on the go, and those needing that workout fuel that also can help with bulking! It's easy to get tired of this meal though so try to only have it one week a month.
