Ever heard of microwaved Moroccan stuffed peppers? These turkey stuffed bell peppers are super quick to make in the microwave oven and are sweet and savory and very, very aromatic!
Cut the tops of the bell peppers, seed and wash well
Cook rice as instructed on the package.
Meanwhile heat a large skillet and roast the peppers lightly, on high heat, about 1 minute on each side.
Then place peppers in a microwave dish, bottoms up.
Add ½" water to the dish and cover with a lid. Microwave on high until the peppers are just a little tender but still hold their shape, 3-5 minutes.
Drain the water and turn the peppers right side up, keeping them in the dish.
Meanwhile, cook turkey with garlic in olive oil, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a bamboo spatula, until no longer raw, about 4 minutes.
Add raisins, caraway and cinnamon and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the cooked rice and cook for 1 more minute.
Remove from the heat and add ½ cup vegetable juice, mint, orange zest, salt and pepper.
Using a spoon, fill the peppers with the turkey mixture.
Pour the rest of the vegetable juice into the microwave dish and cover.
Microwave on high about 4 minutes.
Serve the peppers with or without the sauce and/or low fat yogurt.
