Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400. Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil. (It will make clean up easier.)
Step 2
Cut each pepper in half lengthwise. For decoration, leave the stem intact, but remove the membrane and seeds. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 3
Spray a large skillet lightly with cooking spray. Add the leeks and cauliflower to the skillet. Sauté over medium heat just until the leeks begin to soften. (for about 3 to 5 minutes) Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute, being careful not to brown the garlic. Remove the sautéed vegetables to a bowl and set aside. Add the turkey to the skillet. Cook and stir, over medium heat, until the meat is browned. Drain the fat. Return the meat and cauliflower mixture to the pan. Stir in the marinara sauce, black pepper and seasoning. Set aside a 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Stir the remainder of the cheese into the meat mixture. Allow to simmer over medium low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon the meat mixture evenly between the 8 bell pepper halves, gently pressing to fill in every crevasse. Place in the foil lined baking pan and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the reserved cheese over each pepper. Return to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
