Ingredients 3 Med to Large Green Peppers 1 1/2 Lbs. of Ground Turkey 1 Cup of White Rice 2 Cans(4oz) of Tomato Sauce split 1 Can(8oz) of diced Tomatoes 2 Garlic Cloves Diced 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning Salt and Pepper Instructions First cut the tops off of the Green Peppers. Scoop out the seeds and white membranes. I like to arrange the rings that were cut off the top on the bottom of the crockpot to help keep the green peppers from burning and to help them stay upright.  Next you want to mix the ground turkey with the diced tomatoes, 1 and 1/2 cans of tomato sauce, rice, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper.  Stuff your peppers and place them on the rings in your crockpot.  I added any remaining mixture around the peppers to help hold them up. Now go ahead and add the last half can of tomato sauce.  Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4. Serve with extra sauce if you desire. Enjoy!
