Turkey and Farro Stuffed Peppers

Assembled in a few easy steps, this low-fat Mexican-style stuffed pepper is a flavor explosion of cilantro, green chilies and red onion. It’s mild enough for even the little eaters at your kitchen table. A complete balanced meal simple enough for a busy weekday meal but with such a variety of colors, textures and flavors, it’s definitely company-worthy.
