Paleo Stuffed Bell Peppers

Stuffed peppers can be filled with anything you like, feta veggies, or a Mexican spiced ground mix, but here I have chosen delicious Turkey stuffed peppers.

You can use either the breast or the thigh. I prefer the thigh for more flavor and also for the fat-soluble nutrients.

There are various versions of stuffed bell peppers. Whether that’s with breadcrumbs or rice or beans or just pure meat.

Our version is gluten-free and low carb keeping it lighter but nutrient dense with a decent protein serving.

If you have any digestive issues then bell peppers might cause mild discomfort due to the lectins it contains. There are no real alternatives but a way around it could be removing the outer skin after baking.

I adore Turkey- full of tryptophan for good sleep as well as mood-boosting benefits! I am a massive fan of pasture-raised, free-roaming turkey more so than chicken.

Additionally, you can use any ground meat. Do what you have avaliable.
