Stuffed Green Peppers - Gluten Free

6 green bell peppers
salt to taste
1lb ground turkey
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans condensed tomato soup

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds.  Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes, drain.  Sprinkle salt inside each pepper and place in a baking dish

In a large skillet, saute turkey and onions for 5 minutes or until browned.  Drain off excess fat and season with salt and pepper.  Stir in tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce,  black beans and 1 can of soup.  Cook until a low boil.

Preheat oven to 350.  Stuff each pepper with the turkey mixture and place open side up in baking dish.  In a medium bowl, combine the other can of soup with just enough water to make a gravy.  Pour over the peppers.  Bake 20 minutes covered with aluminum foil.  (You can add grated cheese to top of peppers if you wish, but I see no reason to.  They are yummy without it).

 **  Elsa does not like stuffed peppers, so I usually make 5 peppers and reserve some of the turkey mixture (adding some tomato sauce if necessary and some oregano, basil, garlic etc. to make a spaghetti type sauce).    I cook her some noodles and top with the sauce.  Everyone is happy!
