Recipe Tips

• Weight Watchers points go down when you use fat free meat. I used fat free ground turkey in this recipe. If you’re using another fat content or type of meat, please recalculate your points.
• If using long grain brown rice, you’ll want to cook it for a few extra minutes.
• To make this recipe gluten free, just use gluten free pasta! This has a lower cook time than traditional pasta.
• The recipe is perfect for meal prep–it stays well in the fridge all week, and freezes and reheats like a dream!
• To make this a lower carb recipe, swap the pasta for cauliflower rice that has been cooked–add it about 5 minutes before serving.
• Different brands calculate differently, so to be certain of your points I’d recalculate using the WW points calculator for the ingredients and brands that you’re using.

Ingredients

• Extra Lean Ground Turkey
• Onion
• Diced Tomatoes
• Tomato Sauce
• Green Peppers
• Red Peppers
• Low Sodium broth or water
• Garlic
• Black pepper
• Oregano
• Brown rice, dry. I prefer short grain because it cooks faster and is more tender.

Slow Cooker Weight Watchers Stuffed Pepper Soup:

This is an easy and filling recipe! These are the Crock Pot instructions, but you can find both stovetop and pressure cooker instructions below!
This recipe takes about 15 minutes of prep time followed by 6-8 hours of cook time in the Crock Pot.

1. Sauté Brown the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until there is no more pink.
2. Add ingredients to slow cooker Add the ground turkey, broth or water, tomatoes (including the juice), tomato sauce, chopped peppers and onions, black pepper, garlic, and oregano to the Crock Pot.
3. A note: Your rice should be added at least 1 hour before the end of cooking. You can also use cooked rice and add it to the slow cooker at the end of your cooking time, right before you serve it. I prefer adding cooked rice to this recipe instead of cooking it in the slow cooker.
4. Cook Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Instant Pot Instructions

This method takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.

1. Spray your pot with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil. Press the Sauté button and cook your ground turkey until it’s no longer pink.
2. Add the broth or water, tomatoes (including the juice), tomato sauce, dry rice, bell peppers and onions, black pepper, garlic, and oregano.
3. Close the lid and turn your valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
4. When finished, release the pressure on the pot and remove the lid.

Stovetop Instructions

1. Sauté the ground turkey in a large pot or dutch oven (large enough to cook your soup) until it’s no longer pink.
2. Add the broth or water, tomatoes (including the juice), tomato sauce, chopped peppers and onions, rice, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on medium-high, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Test the peppers to make sure they’re cooked enough for you before removing the soup from the stovetop.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
