    These peppers have summer grilling written all over them!

    When I made Italian sausage turkey burgers the other day my natural instinct was to make stuffed peppers next. Gosh, I'm glad that I did! My roommate could NOT stop raving about them...and he doesn't even like "healthy food" as he calls it. In fact, we both couldn't stop eating them.

    No leftovers were saved on this day.

    But that's ok with me!
