- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jar (26 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
- 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1/2 cup dried currants
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup cooked medium pearl barley
- 1/4 cup cooked bulgur

- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove stems and seeds. In a large kettle, cook peppers in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain; set aside.
- In a large saucepan, cook the turkey, onions and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in 2 cups spaghetti sauce, corn, currants, wine or broth, barley, bulgur, lentils, brown sugar and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Spoon a heaping 1/2 cupful into each pepper cup.
- Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top each pepper with remaining spaghetti sauce; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover and bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until peppers are tender and filling is heated through.
