Brighten Your Bowl
Vivid vegetables don't just add color to a dish; they also pack
important phytochemicals. Green peppers are rich in lutein, red
peppers are packed with beta-carotene and tomatoes provide
lycopene. This recipe features a rainbow of healthy veggies and
flavorful wild rice packed inside an edible pepper bowl. Ground
turkey adds lean protein and onions and garlic lend flavor and
cancer-fighting antioxidants.
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped mushrooms, any kind
1 lb ground turkey
2 cups of baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced OR 1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup chopped carrots, steamed and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice
4 large green or red bell peppers (or any combination), tops removed* and seeded

mushrooms until onions are translucent. Add turkey, spinach, tomatoes
