"I am trying to lighten my diet and LOVE stuffed Peppers but cannot have the rice in them. I was inspired to create a new recipe by embellishing (The Ala Frey) and using two recipes from two great Zaar chefs! Mirj inspired me with Mother of Invention Crockpot Klops recipe #119466 amd mickie49 with Tomato-wine sauce recipe #69658. A little bit of this a little bit of that and a pretty palatable meal was created! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did. You can use any tomato sauce, but I wouldn't even THINK of using another. It is perfection and blends so well with the peppers."

Michelle these were wonderful---I usually don't care for stuffed peppers but obviously had to try this recipe! I used red peppers and ground turkey--otherwise followed recipe as written. They were sooooo yunmmy, we ate and ate! Served with Pumpkinhead's wonderful parmesan spinach and some linguine with garlic and olive oil--terrific meal! This is definitely going into my Family Favorites cookbook, thanks again for all your kind words and this terrific recipe!
