If you’re looking for pure comfort-food nostalgia, you’ll enjoy these meatloaf stuffed peppers. Serve with veggies on the side.

Serves 6

3 large bell peppers (red, green or yellow)

1 pound ground turkey (93.7% lean)

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup very finely minced sweet onion

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup natural catsup (no corn syrup)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash peppers and remove the core and tops from the peppers. Save tops.

Mix together ground turkey, egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce, catsup, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and bread crumbs. Mix well until fully combined.

Stuff peppers with turkey mixture. Set top lightly on top of filling as shown.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 55 minutes.

If desired, remove from the oven the last 5 minutes of cooking and top each with a small amount of shredded 2% cheese or a teaspoon of catsup, placed on top of filling. Return to oven for the remaining 5 minutes. Serve warm.
