stuffed peppers with ground turkey and veggies...

again if you are trying to go the healthy way using ground turkey or chicken is better than ground beef or pork... it was my first time cooking with orzo... it was pretty good! but if you are trying to cut down on carbs you can just remove the orzo from the recipe.. i always try to put in as much veggies as i can in a lot of my cooking...

i topped it off with japanese miso dressing, sriracha, green onions, sesame seeds (a few of my fave ingredients)... 

enjoy!
