NOTE: We made this tonight and it was enjoyed by all. We used Green, Red, Yellow and Orange Peppers. We used ‘Organics’ Garlic Tomato Sauce (Vons) and Jennie-O Ground Turkey Breast which was twice as expensive as the regular ground turkey, but the fat is so much lower it is worth it! Brown rice would be excellent in this dish.
