Hi guys! I'm back from trip to Disney for Food Blog Forum -- what a fantastic weekend! While I work on my recap post, I've got a great {SUPER EASY} recipe for you as well as a guest post over on The Cradle Coach's blog today!

Three months later, I'm finally feeling like I'm getting the hang of things {whatever that means!}, and I'm sharing a little bit about my journey in hopes that it'll be helpful to other new moms, too.
Head over to the post to see my tips for new mamas.

Mediterranean Turkey Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
- 4 peppers tops cut off and seeds removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon dried mint
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese plus extra for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place hollowed out peppers in a baking dish. If the peppers don’t stand up, slice a little sliver off the bottom to give it a flat surface for stability.
- Add onion to skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until softened and translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute or so.
- Move onion aside on the skillet and add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with spoon {or a potato masher, which is my favorite tool for this task!}. Cook until the turkey is browned, mixing with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Add oregano, dill, and dried mint and cook for about a minute. Toss in the crumbled feta and stir until just starting to melt.
- Divide meat evenly among the four hollowed peppers. Top with a little extra feta if desired.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the peppers begin to soften and the tops are lightly browned.
- Serve with rice or quinoa for a complete meal!
