Not all stuffed peppers have ground beef and tomato sauce. Ground turkey and a white sauce give this variation wonderful down-home flavor and appeal. Julie Grose from Lompoc, California shares this recipe.

Prep of 30 min is with 2 people or someone really good at multi-tasking in the kitchen. However with 2 people you can get it done in 30 and almost all the dishes done too.
