💡 PRO TIPS
✅ Make Ahead:
Prepare filling up to 2 days ahead; store in fridge
Stuff peppers and freeze unbaked for up to 1 month
Bake from frozen: add 15-20 minutes to cooking time
✅ Healthy Swaps:
Rice → Quinoa, cauliflower rice, or bulgur
Ground turkey → Ground chicken breast or lean beef
Vegetarian → Use lentils + mushrooms + walnuts
✅ Best Results:
Choose firm, thick-walled peppers that stand upright
Don’t overstuff – rice expands during cooking
Use a meat thermometer: turkey is done at 165°F (74°C)
Let peppers rest 5 min before serving for easier handling
