Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey or chicken (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free preferred)
- 1 small bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the ground meat in a skillet over medium heat until browned, seasoning with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

- Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for crispiness.
