The peppers would help keep the turkey moist too.

I guess they do that because they aren't ever dry and I use turkey breast which itself isn't as moist as dark meat turkey

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I find that ground turkey is dry in comparison to ground beef.

[cat lover]

When I use beef I only use ground round; one that is 4% fat so the dryness of ground turkey breast is what we are accustomed to because of DH diet restrictions.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

We use the lean beef too, but DH doesn't like peppers. But, I think it would be good for ground turkey.

Oh wow, I use sweet peppeers about the sameway I do onions, almost in everything!

I can do that more now that I am away at school most days. When I am only cooking for myself, I use a lot of onions and bell peppers. I keep the hot peppers in a jar in a fridge and add to the plate.
