Leftover Stuffing Stuffed Sweet Peppers with Two Kinds Buttermilk Dips
Day 7 of "15 days to Thanksgiving"
Posted By Savita
Thanksgiving feast comes with dilemma of fridge full of leftovers and a question - "How to use all these leftovers?" I happen to love utilizing leftovers!! You are familiar with my take-out rice and mashed potatoes leftover surprise recipes.
Today, I have used the leftover turkey stuffing to make these scrumptious and cheese-y little sweet peppers for snacking! Make a platter full of these peppers for snacking, day after thanksgiving, it takes only 15 minutes, with just 5 minutes of active prep and rest work is done in the oven!
I have stuffed these peppers with Wild Rice and Mushroom Stuffing that I shared with you two days ago. This recipe, however, will also work great with bread-based stuffing. I served this cheese-y snack with side of two buttermilk dips. If you don't have buttermilk, you can use sour cream or non-fat yogurt. Or just serve peppers with some ketchup on the side and enjoy!
