Steps:
- Brown ground meat with onion and garlic. Add rice, water, and sauce. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is done.
- Meanwhile, shred cheese. Wash and split peppers or zucchini. Split the peppers into thirds or quarters, depending on size. Or split zucchini in half. Remove seeds from peppers or scoop out the seeded center of zucchini, leaving about 1/2 inch all around. Arrange peppers or zucchini in a 9"x13" or 10"x15" pan, hollow side up.
- When the meat-rice mixture is cooked, turn off heat. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese and stir until melted. Stuff the peppers or zucchini. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese and 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce. Bake uncovered at 350F for 30 minutes for peppers, or 45 minutes for zucchini, until heated through and sauce is bubbly.

ITALIAN STUFFED VEGETABLES (ZUCCHINI, BELL PEPPERS, OR EGGPLANTS
A great way to serve up a delicious dish with healthy veggies! I know there are a lot of similar recipes out there but this stuffing does not call for rice so I thought I'd add my version. I think this dish stands great on it's own but a little side of linguine or angel hair pasta (which can be found in my recipes) might make for a more complete presentation. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Lightly drizzle ~2 tbsp olive oil into a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together onion, parsley, egg, ketchup, salt, garlic, and black pepper.
- Stir in the cheese and bread crumbs.
- Mix in turkey until all is well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- Now take your zucchini and eggplant and carefully scrape out the seeds and some of the inner flesh, creating a pocket for the stuffing while still leaving a pretty thick shell.
- Halve and seed the bell peppers then fill all the vegetables with the turkey mixture, mounding slightly.
- Arrange stuffed vegetables in the baking dish, pour marinara sauce over everything and sprinkle with some more of the grated Romano (I like to use freshly grated Parmesan).
- Bake uncovered about 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

EGGPLANT STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
This recipe was in the Southern Lady magazine Jan/Feb 2006. I used red peppers but you can use either color. I made a few adjustments which I thought made it much easier to prepare. My husband loved it and so did I. Presentation is important, but taste is what matters the most. Try it...you'll like it!!
