Stuffed Orange Peppers

Very simple recipe, but very flavorful. I made it exactly as written, except I added a bit of garlic powder when browning the meat. A wonderful twist on stuffed peppers, and a nice change from the usual ground beef/rice/tomato sauce recipes you always see. The gouda and liquid smoke are just the right touch to give these a light smokiness, without being overpowering. These are healthy too, and one pepper is just the right amount. I was looking forward to having these as my lunches though out the week! Thanks for the great recipe kflamed13! I will definitely be making these again, except next time I might use green, or even red peppers. These orange ones were expensive little suckers! :)

This a good basic stuffed pepper recipe. I amped up the flavor a few ways. Use low sodium chicken broth instead of water. Add your favorite all purpose seasoning to the turkey as it cooks like Mrs Dash. Add salt and pepper. I also used fire roasted canned tomatoes. Try a dash or two of Cholula brand hot sauce as a condiment. That really added a kick but didn't overwhelm the other flavors. Loved the lower fat choice of turkey. I used 93% Honeysuckle White Ground Turkey. I plan to make ahead next time and have on hand for a quick weeknight supper.

A great base. I used a mix of ground chorizo and turkey and added more garlic and paprika. Next time I'll cook the rice separate as some of mine was uncooked, but that was more likely my cooking mistakes and not the recipe. Thanks

Excellent stuffed peppers. I skipped the liquid smoke and used mozzarella cheese instead of Gouda. I will make these again and use the Gouda next time.

So good! I used a bit more gouda (even topping all of them with a good layer) and added garlic into my turkey, but kept everything else the same. I used green peppers just because of cost. I love stuffed peppers and this is definitely a recipe I will keep.

I halved the recipe and sliced open the peppers for easier serving. I did add more of the diced tomatoes than indicated and added a banana pepper in the mix. One reviewer cooked the rice with broth and I did that as well to add some flavor. I only had cheddar and mozzarella so I did half cheddar and half mozzarella. I did top each pepper half with a little mozzarella. It was delicious!

I made the stuffed peppers! They we very good and easy to make. Will definitely be making them again.

Very good, but i left out the liquid smoke. I think the next time I will slice the peppers lengthwise just to make it easier to eat.

Made it a few times now & each time I get the Wow! Loved it!

I used fresh grape tomatoes and added celery. Very flavorful!

I craved a stuffed pepper while pregnant but, needed it to be light as my morning sickness was a beast. I found this recipe and it was great for my entire pregnancy. I omitted the liquid smoke and just used a half of round of smoked Gouda. It was delicious and freezes great for later.

I used this recipe for inspiration (and very helpful prep info). Instead of turkey I substituted all the vegetables that were on the 'way out' in my fridge and didn't use the liquid smoke. My husband and kid liked it a lot. Thanks for posting it kflamed13!

I used red peppers and shredded cheddar because thats what I had on hand. It was delish and I will make again!

I will definitely make again & again..I chopped up a little fresh cilantro and added to meat mixture when cooking it along with petite diced tomatoes. I also added a tablespoon of diced jalapeños(jar) to mixture for a little kick...we absolutely loved it

Easy to make and delicious to eat!

Very easy to make. Turkey is quite bland so adding spices to the recipe is a must. I also didn't cook the peppers first like the recipe says to since they cook for almost a half hour when assembled. My son ate 2 whole peppers right off the bat.

Different style of stuffed peppers - came out very good. The mixture of liquid smoke and the gouda cheese gave it an interesting flavor I wasn't sure I would like but I did. I thought the only thing it needed was salt and pepper.

This was a good base recipe. The stuffing needed more flavor so I added garlic and lots of herbs from my garden. I also don't like tomatoes, so I cut up the tops from the peppers very small and added them. I used chicken broth instead of water to make the rice. I think liquid smoke is weird so I used SMOKED GOUDA. I would definitely make these again. I loved the ground turkey.

Great starter, especially if you you like these ingredients. I love yellow and orange peppers over green since they're sweeter. I made the following changes: used beef seasoned with onion and garlic power, seasoned salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce; a bag of precooked Trader Joe's Frozen Brown Rice; a can of tomato sauce and mozzarella and half o the iquid smoke. I also microwaved the peppers in a water bath for 4 minutes instead of boiling. I saved some of the sauce for the pan and the tops of the peppers. Covered and baked for 45 minutes at 350 until tender.

The orange peppers give it a really good taste. it is very easy to prepare. Something you can prepare on a very busy day

I don’t care for ground turkey, but thought I’d give it a try anyway.

I took the advice of other reviewers and added garlic pepper and some Italian seasoning. Also used chicken broth instead of water. This was delicious! Will be on my "keeper" list.

I thought this was easy, and used chicken broth. Went the traditional italian with lots of seasoning and garlic. Used stewed tomatoes and a little spaghetti sauce in the mix with brown rice. yummy.

Really tasty, I've made this a few times now and it is definitely in our rotation.

I made these. So yummy. I used 4 red peppers and 2 yellow peppers. I added garlic powder, paprika, mrs. Dash and pepper to the ground turkey with the onion. I also used 1/2 cup of chicken stick instead of water. I didn’t use the liquid smoke because I didn’t have any. I also used shredded mozzarella cheese instead of the Gouda cheese. I will definitely make these again.

Great recipe!! I made some changes. I used 2 cups of rice and cooked it in my rice maker with chicken broth instead of water. And I also used 3 pounds of ground turkey. Needless to say I made too much Rice mixture. I also added a can of tomato soup because I accidentally drained my tomatoes which I also use fire roasted diced tomatoes two cans. So because I drained my tomatoes there was no sauce for the rice and meat mixture so I added a can of tomato soup in a pinch. It worked out amazing!!!!

For the work that goes into it, it was a little bland. I did use chicken stock instead of water and also put in fresh garlic. It just needs a little more depth. Husband used hot sauce on his and I did barbecue sauce!

This is basically a stuffed pepper recipe using ground turkey versus another meat like beef or pork. Any changes made are to give flavor to the bland turkey taste.

I am giving this 3 stars because I found it to be a bit lacking in flavor. That said, I did make a couple of adaptations which may have affected the result. First, I halved the recipe for the two of us. I used green peppers because the orange ones were four times as expensive. I had a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes and added the whole can (I hated to throw half of it away) instead of adding any water. A little added garlic, salt and pepper helped, but I would probably not make this again.

Worth making again with a few changes. I will try rotel instead of tomatoes and pepperjack cheese. It was just too bland.

Made this recipe & it was a bit bland. I guess it needed a bit of salt. I used Colby cheese because that's what I had on hand, and added garlic & 1/4 lb. ground beef to the turkey because I needed to get rid of it. My friend is sensitive to tomato paste (sauce) so if had been preparing for anyone else I would've used one of those. When I make without a recipe I use 1/2 can of tomato paste,which I prefer.

Try adding garlic salt pepper , more

Would recommend seasoning a bit with S&P, other than that turned out well!
