The ingredients for Easy Stuffed Peppers are:

2 Medium Green Peppers - cored & cleaned out
1 cup of White Rice - rinsed
1 can of Diced Tomatoes
2 Frozen Turkey Burgers (I use Jennie-O)
1 clove of Garlic - minced
2 ounces (slices) of Mozzarella Cheese (low moisture/part skim)
1 can (12 oz) of Corn

Here is how you make Easy Stuffed Peppers:

With a large skillet, cook the turkey burgers on medium heat using the spatula to chop the burgers up. You could just use ground turkey but I like the burgers for 2 reasons. First, it helps with portion control. I don't have to measure anything and re-freeze the rest. I cook for just 2 people so I almost never need a full pound of meat. The second reason is because Jennie-O already seasons their burgers (which I find very tasty) so I don't have to calculate the seasonings I'm using. I can just use their nutrition facts. A godsend for a lazy cook.When the burgers are completely chopped up and cooked through add the can of diced tomatoes (juice and all) and the minced garlic. Stir it well and reduce the heat so they can simmer.While the turkey and tomatoes are going, pre-heat the oven to 350 and start on the rice. I have a rice steamer for the microwave which makes this part SUPER easy but you can use a sauce pan on the stove. Just know that it's going to take about 20 minutes doing it that way so you may want to start the rice before browning the turkey.Once the rice is mostly cooked, add it to the turkey/tomato/garlic mix in the skillet. Also add the corn (juice and all) Stir well, raise the heat to medium again, and cover (stirring occasionally) until almost all the liquid is cooked out.Now it's time to stuff the peppers. Place the cored, cleaned out peppers and stand them upright on an ungreesed baking sheet.(*SPECIAL NOTE* - Not all green peppers are going to want to stand upright. If you've got a wonky pepper you can make a base for it with some aluminum foil.)Since everything inside the pepper is completely cooked, you're really just using the oven to cook the green pepper. I like my peppers a little more on the crunchy side so I only bake it at 350 for about 20 minutes. If you like your peppers cooked all the way through, it should take about 45 mins. Keep checking on it though. All ovens are a little different.When you think the peppers are just about done, take them out and add the slices of mozzarella and crank the oven up to broil. You want it nice and hot to toast the cheese. Otherwise you'll just end up with melted cheese on the bottom of your pan. This part happens fast so you shouldn't need more than 2 or 3 minutes. KEEP WATCH! Or you'll end up with burned cheese.Once the cheese is toasted you're ready!
