Ingredients

1 Tbsp. Taste of Inspirations Smoked Cedar Salmon Rub
2 cups Nature's Promise Baby Spinach

Stuffed Peppers with Turkey and Couscous

Directions

1. Place a rack in upper-middle of oven and heat to 375 degrees. Slice tops off peppers and remove cores and seeds, then arrange, cut side up, in an 8" glass baking dish. (If peppers are tipping over, trim bottoms to create a flat surface.) Pour water around peppers, then microwave until just tender and pliable, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add turkey and rub and cook, stirring to break meat into small pieces, until turkey begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in spinach and scallions until spinach is wilted. Fold in couscous and salsa, followed by 1/2 cup cheese and the egg. Spoon turkey mixture into peppers, then cover baking dish tightly with foil.
4. Bake until peppers are fully tender and filling is cooked through, about 30 minutes, then remove foil and sprinkle peppers with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Continue to bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes, then serve.
