Bell pepper calories

This simple swap creates a delicious sandwich! The kids will love these bell pepper turkey sandwiches as much as you do! Well, we’d like to challenge that thinking with our bell pepper turkey bell pepper calories recipe!

Instead of carb-heavy bread, we are going to base our sandwich on a flavorful, crunchy bell pepper! While our recipe calls for a red pepper, you can feel free to substitute any color pepper you like. Bell peppers are a great source of nutrition, as well as flavor. They are a terrific source of beta-carotene as well as Vitamin A.

Low in calories, an average pepper has only 7 grams of carbs — perfect for that low-carb lifestyle. Bell peppers, freshly sliced turkey, bacon, cucumber, and more create absolutely scrumptious sandwiches! To begin our sandwich, we’ll cut the bell pepper in half and take out the seeds and veins. If you want to make it more breadlike, you can also flatten the pepper by slicing off the curved pieces of the pepper, although you will end up with less pepper that way. Again, feel free to vary the type of spreadable cheese you use, based on your own preferences. Now, we’ll add sliced deli turkey to both sides of the cheese-spread pepper. If you are using regular waxy-type cucumbers, we recommend you peel them before slicing thinly.
