Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground turkey
- 2 slices white bread, cut into cubes
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes with basil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage leaves, plus 6 to 8 whole leaves, for frying
- A few dashes Worcestershire sauce
- A few dashes hot sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove core and seeds from peppers. Slice into 1 inch rings and place on nonstick baking sheet. You should get about 3 rings per pepper. In a large bowl mix together beef, turkey, bread, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes, garlic, egg, onion, chopped sage, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Press meatloaf mixture evenly into pepper rings. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Saute meatloaf rings on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add remaining tomatoes to skillet and bake until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1-inch vegetable oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 325 degrees F. Drop sage leaves into oil and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish meatloaf rings with fried sage leaves.

This was an interesting activity. I like the idea and will definitely try the process again. I followed the recipe as outlined and the one issue I have is the filling shrinking too much. The flavor was good but I think it needs a little less tomato and maybe a bit more of the classic meatloaf flavors like the brown sugar and ketchup....

I have made some variation of this recipe over a dozen times. What a great recipe. I never use ground beef. The main reason I love it is you get a healthy, portion appropriate amount of meatloaf and a pseudo stuffed pepper with out having to eat a whole pepper. One of my favorites.
