This was the first time the Crew and I cooked with farro... and we LOVED it! These peppers smell good, look great and taste delicious.

Categories     Turkey

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large green bell peppers
1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
2 c broth (I used beef)
1 c farro, pearled (Italian whole grain, like wheat berries)
10 oz whole mushrooms, stems removed, finely chopped
1 c chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
4-6 clove garlic, minced
2/3-3/4 c Romano cheese, grated (or any hard cheese that you prefer)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the farro in the broth. This can be done ahead of time.
  • 2. Prepare the peppers by cutting off tops, stems and removing the inner seeds and membrane. (I cut off a little extra so I can chop it up and add to the filling.) Place them in a large baking dish sprayed with non-stick or lightly oiled.
  • 3. In a large skillet on med-high heat, cook the ground turkey. Move to large bowl to cool before blending with other ingredients.
  • 4. Chop the mushrooms and onions and sautee in olive oil until tender. Add garlic and cook gently for a few minutes.
  • 5. In a large mixing bowl, add cooked farro, tomatoes, onion/mushroom mixture, grated cheese and herbs and blend well. Taste the mixture and add salt/pepper if desired. (Be careful - the cheese is already pretty salty!)
  • 6. Stuff the farro mixture into each pepper and pack firmly. Scatter any remaining stuffing around the peppers in the dish. No need to add water - the peppers will give off liquid as they cook.
  • 7. Cover the peppers lightly with foil and bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 30-45 minutes - until they reach the desired level of tenderness. If desired - top with grated mozzarella for the last few minutes of cooking.

These stuffed peppers are a great make-ahead meal. I made them on the weekend and then reheated them for dinner during the week.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I always have a lot of turkey after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use it up.
