Peppers Stuffed on Thanksgiving Recipe
Leftover Thanksgiving dinner is mixed with rice for tasty stuffed peppers that make a quick and easy post-holiday dinner. Serve with a fresh green salad.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Success® White Rice
- 1 cup leftover Thanksgiving stuffing
- 1 cup leftover Thanksgiving roast turkey, shredded
- 1/2 cup leftover Thanksgiving turkey gravy
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 small red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, stems and seeds removed
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Though it’s still paired with turkey and gravy, stuffing takes on a whole new meaning when paired with fluffy Success® White Rice and packed into crisp peppers. Enjoy the feast of holiday flavors long after the Thanksgiving dinner dishes have been cleared.
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, combine rice, stuffing, turkey, gravy, egg, salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Divide rice mixture evenly among peppers. Fit stuffed peppers into parchment paper–lined 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; drizzle with olive oil.
Step 4
Cover with foil; bake for about 30 mins or until peppers are tender, filling is heated through, and cheese is melted.
Recipe Tip
Add leftover Thanksgiving vegetables, or frozen corn or peas to the rice filling if desired. Garnish with parsley.
