I honestly don't know why I stopped making stuffed peppers, I always loved them as a kid. But when I went to make them from my memory, I was a little surprised at the calorie count. Of course most of those calories came from the rice, so I replaced the rice with my new friend the Shirataki Noodle.
The new stuffed pepper recipe turned out to be delicious and I was able to bring the calorie count to a tad under 200 calories per pepper!
If your new to my videos, I have a soup and stir fry recipe I prepare with these noodles called Faux Pho Soup.

Ingredients
6 Bell Peppers (6oz each)
2- 8oz Packages of Tofu Shirataki Noodles (could probably get away with just one package but if the mixture does not stretch to 6 peppers you'l have to up the calorie count)
1 medium onion (about 1 cup)
16oz lean (99/1) ground turkey
3 cloves garlic
14.5oz diced tomatoes (1 1/4 cups)
3oz monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup reduced sugar ketchup
