Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef or Impossible burger, break up until protein reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Peppers

    Remove stem and halve bell peppers. Remove seeds and ribs.

    Place peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Spray with cooking spray and evenly top with a pinch of salt.

    Roast in hot oven until tender, 16-18 minutes.

    While peppers roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Line a bowl with paper towels.

    Trim and grate zucchini directly into towel-lined bowl. Gather zucchini up in paper towels and squeeze out any excess moisture. Place grated zucchini aside and discard excess liquid. Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted.

  3. 3

    Start the Filling

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add ground turkey and piri piri blend (use less if spice-averse) to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat until browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Add grated zucchini and stir occasionally until turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Filling

    Add cream cheese, pesto (to taste), butter, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until melted and combined, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Finish Peppers and Finish Dish

    After 16-18 minutes, carefully remove peppers from oven. Flip peppers and evenly divide filling between halves. Top evenly with shredded cheese. Peppers will be hot! Use a utensil. If peppers are too large to fill completely, fill 4 halves and roast 3-4 minutes longer. Remaining pepper is yours to use as you please!

    Roast again in hot oven until cheese is melted and browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.
