Roasted Turkey and Stuffed Peppers is a deliciously simple family meal that is also great for a casual get-together. Turkey isn’t just for Thanksgiving. This meal can be enjoyed anytime of the year and is an especially comforting dish during these cooler months. If you’re sharing Thanksgiving with a smaller group, this meal would be perfect.
I easily get bored with food, and am always trying to come up with different ideas for dinnertime. For the longest time, I only cooked turkey for holidays. Until I realized how easy it is to cook a turkey breast in the slow cooker. But there are times when I want that crispy skin you get when you roast something. When preparing this roasted turkey, try adding some melted butter to the turkey to help make the skin extra crispy.
You can never go wrong with stuffed peppers as a side dish. This simple recipe is perfect for a weeknight, and it’s an easy way to sneak a vegetable into the meal. Peppers have a lot going for them. They’re low in calories and are loaded with good nutrition.

My goodness, this looks absolutely delicious and mouth watering. We love anything that involves turkey breasts and chicken broth, and being a stuffed recipe my husband is going to love this so much right away!
Looks delicious. I am going to try this recipe
We love stuffed peppers, and this is a new and delish way to make them, I’m excited to try it!
Looks like some kind of meat in the peppers,but I didn’t see any meat other than the turkey listed. Is the meat hamburger or ground turkey?
The sliced turkey breast is served alongside the stuffed peppers which are filled with a rice mixture. I think some ground turkey in the peppers would be great, but I haven’t tried it that way.
I need to pin this. I’m always looking for a stuffed pepper dish that doesn’t use a tomato sauce. I like the tomato sauce ones but sometimes you just want something different.
