This delicious Slow Cooker Turkey Stuffed Peppers is a great healthy family dinner that is also a freezer meal!

I love this recipe. It was so easy to prepare and I loved the flavours. My whole family enjoyed it. When it was all cooked I set aside the stuffed capsicum and added a pack of rice into the tomato juices and cooked beautifully. I then put the stuffed capsicum back into the slow cooker on warm until I was ready to serve.
