Stuffed Green Peppers

6 green peppers, halved and seeds removed
1 lb Ground Turkey (or you can use ground beef)
1 15 oz can Organic Tomato Sauce (I used Kirkland brand)
2 cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed
**2 cups cooked Brown Basmati Rice
1 red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbls heat safe oil (I used Grape Seed Oil)

Heat your oven to 300 degrees. In a pan, add oil. Cook ground turkey, onion and garlic. In a big pot of boiling water, add green peppers and par-boil for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a big mixing bowl, add cooked meat, onion, garlic mixture. Add in beans, rice and tomato sauce. Mix together. Spoon mixture into halved peppers and set on a large greased cookie sheet. (I lined mine with tin foil) Place stuffed peppers on the cookie sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes on 300. Enjoy :)

**1 2/3 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Add 1 cup brown Basmati Rice and 1 tsp of coconut oil, if you're feeling adventurous. ;)  Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes.
