Herb Stuffed Red Peppers

This is one of our healthy recipe makeovers. It was a hit tonight, so I thought I'd pass it on.

3 large sweet red peppers
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 c chopped onion
1 tbsp dried parsley
3/4 tsp salt (I used garlic salt)
1/4 tsp cayenne or chili powder
1/8 tsp all spice
18 oz can Tomato sauce (I used a smaller can and it worked well)
1/4 c Chicken broth
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tsp chopped basil
2 tbsp grated parmesan or romano

Cut tops off peppers, remove seeds and place upside down on microwave safe plate. Add a little water and cover. Microwave on high until crisp tender (about 5 minutes)
Cook onion and turkey until no longer pink. remove from heat.  Add seasonings.
Add remaining ingredients.
Place peppers in greased (pam) baking dish and fill. Bake in 350 degree oven about 30 minutes.
