I love stuffed vegetables, meat and pasta. And then it comes to breast of turkey the stuffing serves at least three purposes: The otherwise not very juicy meat obtains a succulent core. The flavour becomes more complex and interesting when enhanced with herbs and veggies. And the colours are so much more appealing to the eye (- and the appetite).
This version is based on rosemary, mozzarella and red and yellow bell peppers, which makes a elegant combo when served in thin, hot or cold slices.
