  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. Italian sausage, follow same instructions as 8 oz. Italian sausage, working in batches, if necessary.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 3, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper and breaking up until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 3, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper and breaking up until no pink remains and turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Halve bell peppers lengthwise and remove seeds and ribs.

    Stem kale and coarsely chop.

    On a separate cutting board, remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  2. 2

    Start the Peppers

    Place bell peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut-side down, and spray with cooking spray.

    Roast in hot oven until tender and lightly browned, 16-18 minutes.

    While peppers roast, make filling.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat, until browned and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Add kale and stir often until wilted, 1-2 minutes.

    Add marinara and stir until warmed through and combined, 30-60 seconds.

    Remove from burner and stir in softened cream cheese until melted and combined.

  4. 4

    Finish the Peppers

    Carefully, flip roasted peppers cut-side up. Divide filling evenly between peppers and top with mozzarella. Tray and peppers will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Roast again until cheese melts, 8-10 minutes.

  5. 5
