Gnocchi & Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers

CAULIFLOWER GNOCCHI & TURKEY STUFFED BELL PEPPERS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Everyone loves the cauliflower gnocchi from Trader Joe’s. It’s one of their go-to staples for sure. I took it upon myself to use that gnocchi and revitalize stuffed bell peppers.

Growing up I hated them. Seriously, hated them. Now I love almost all foods, except baked fruit, still.

Jazz up your bell peppers this time around with that good gnocchi, and some ground turkey. The “Icing” on the “cake” is definitely the goat cheese. It’s packed with flavor and you’ll make it over and over again.
