Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Usually with stuffed peppers I either use Italian sausage or ground sirloin. I'm becoming a big fan of ground turkey, and thought, how would this taste as the meat substitute in my stuffed peppers. So, I gave it a try, and I must say, it was very tasty! While I'm still a huge fan of spicy Italian sausage, I think the turkey will be a nice change up once in awhile for future meals.

Cook the ground turkey in a frying pan, with diced/sliced mushrooms, white onions, and a lot of minced garlic. Other ingredients used during this process - Extra virgin olive oil, oregano, and pepper. Once you're able to break up the turkey, add a can of diced/sliced tomatoes. For this one I used a can that had some seasoning already added to it. I think it was garlic basil, and then let it simmer on low heat.

While the turkey is simmering, you can prepare the peppers. You can use any color your heart desires. I went with red this time. Cored the peppers, then removed any left over seeds, and spine.


Once you're done doing that, the turkey should be ready, and you can begin scooping it up and filling in the peppers. When you have the peppers all stuffed I like to add a top layer of mozzarella cheese. You can now place these in a pan suitable for however many you decide to make.


Get your oven preheated to 400 degrees, and place the peppers in the center. I let these ones bake for about 20 minutes. I like when the cheese reminds of the cheese off a pizza. That's when I know they're done.


Last step is to enjoy. Sorry there is no picture of a pepper on a plate looking good. I was distracted by how good they were, I forgot to take a picture. =)

Hoo Rag

I won another contest!

3 weeks ago, I entered another contest on Instagram on Hoo Rag's page. This one was simple, because, I was only needed to comment on the photo. They chose 4 people to win, and yours truly was one of them. Hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing. This is borderline ridiculous. The winners got to choose which Hoo Rag they wanted.

I received my Hoo Rag the same day I decided to make another appearance at the warm water discharge to get my fishy fix in.

That guy hates me so much.

Upon arrival at the WWD, I was surprised to see I was the only person there, but that was short lived. The kid/teen in the background showed up, and he is notoriously annoying to all of the fishermen that fish the discharge. I had a few encounters with him last year, but he didn't recognize me with my new Hoo Rag on. My superior skills in annoying certain people proved to be too much for him, once again. I win!

I fished for 15-20 minutes, caught a few bluegill, took a few pictures, and beat a pest at his own game. I'd say that was a successful outing.

Spring Cleaning

Spring is right around the corner, and I am excited! I decided to start cleaning up and organizing my boxes, prepping them to be messed up all over again after the first 2 outings.

I really wish tacky built a fly box for a bass angler. I am starting to really dislike seeing this recurring issue. How about you? What kinds of fly boxes do you recommend for bass flies?


While I was going through all of my flies, I took notice and made a separate pile for flies that I did not tie. Other than most of my trout dry flies, these are the only other flies, that I don't tie, but love to fish. Those Todd's Wiggle Worms drive bass absolutely insane...and the Boogle Eye Poppers...how could you not love those top water flies. Great quality and they have a great popping action for bass and panfish.


Anyone else use those 2 flies, and love them??
