Healthier Stuffed Bell Peppers

2 large green bell peppers, cut in half top to bottom and seeded
1 lb extra-lean ground turkey breast
3 Tbsp freshly minced garlic
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3 oz reduced-fat feta cheese crumbles
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 375*. Fill a large pot 2/3 with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the peppers and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and place on a cutting board or flat surface.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly mist with olive oil spray. Add the turkey breast and garlic. Cook, breaking into bite-sized pieces, until no longer pink. Transfer to a medium bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix well, then spoon 1/4 of the mixture into each pepper half.
Place peppers, stuffed side up in an 8x8 glass or ceramic baking dish. Add water to about 1/4" up the sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until peppers are tender, filling is hot and light crust forms on top.

Serves 4
