Hello,
So I just attempted to make the stuffed peppers . Is the ground turkey originally cooked before being added with the rice to be put into the stuffed peppers?
You put the ground turkey in raw and it cooks along with the peppers.
Is it necessary to cook the rice first? Why won’t it cook in the slow cooker with everything else?
Hi Angela, it might work… I just haven’t had much luck with rice in the slow cooker.
Do the peppers skins start to peel off when you cook them this way?
Nope.
Hey. whats the calorie count on this??
Can I substitute the crush tomatoes for something different?
You can always substitute diced for crushed
What is the calories on this recipe?
