1 14 oz can of tomato sauce
2clovesof garlicpressed
3tbsItalian seasoning
Pinchof chili flakesor more if you like it hotter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Carefully remove each pepper's top with a sharp knife cutting downward toward the pepper's center about a 1/4" or so from the stalk.(Do not simply cut the tops off!)
Remove the top. It should look like a little plug.
Clean out pepper seeds and remove membranes if desired with a knife from the hole in the top.
Keep each top paired with the pepper it came from for the grilling step.
Chop onion and press, or finely mince garlic
Brown turkey and pork sausage together in skillet with olive oil
Add onion and garlic – cook about 5 mins until onions are tender
Add fire roasted tomatoes and stir in the 14 oz can of tomato sauce
Add seasonings and let simmer
Taste your filling mixture. Add salt, pepper and chili flakes as desired
Spoon filling into peppers
Place tops back on the peppers
Secure each pepper from top to bottom with at least a double wrapping of string, tying the ends firmly around the stalk to hold the top in place.
(You can soak the string in water beforehand to help prevent burning, or wrap peppers in aluminum foil)
Grill over medium heat 10 to 20 minutes, turning frequently until achieving desired char.
Remove from grill, snip the strings, discard the tops, slice the peppers with the filling, and enjoy!
