Recipe: Stuffed Peppers w/Farro

Stuffed Peppers w/Ground Turkey & Farro
makes 6-8 servings

Ingredients:
4-6 bell peppers
2 cups water
1 cup pearled farro
2 Tbsp oil
1 lb ground turkey
29 oz can tomato sauce (or two 15 oz cans)
1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 cup shredded cheese

Directions:
[1] Prepare farro according to package instructions. For the brand I used, bring 2 cups water to a boil, add 1 tsp salt, add farro, reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes or until water is absorbed.
[2] In a large pot over medium-high, heat oil for a couple of minutes. Add ground turkey and cook until browned.
[3] To the turkey pot, add tomato sauce and all spices, including the other 1 tsp salt. Let simmer until farro is done.
[4] Add cooked farro to meat sauce mixture and stir to combine.
[5] Arrange peppers in a 9x13 baking dish (either 6 peppers standing upright with tops removed and insides cleaned out, or 4 peppers using the horizontal "boat" method as I did in our video) and fill with meat sauce, letting the extra flow over into the dish.
[6] Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, top peppers with 1 cup shredded cheese, then bake 10-15 minutes more.
[7] Eat!!
