Ingredients

- Sliced bell peppers 1.25 cup
Method
-
Prepare the bell peppers.
Wash the bell peppers thoroughly under cold running water. Dry them with a clean kitchen towel. Remove the stem and seeds, then slice the peppers into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and avoid bruising the peppers. -
Portion the turkey jerky.
Measure out 1.5 ounces of turkey jerky. If the jerky pieces are large, cut them into smaller, bite-sized strips for easier eating.
Tip: If your jerky is very dry, you can briefly warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften slightly. -
Assemble and serve.
Place the sliced bell peppers on a plate or in a bowl. Arrange the turkey jerky pieces alongside the peppers. Enjoy immediately as a fresh, nutritious snack.
Tip: Pair this snack with a glass of water or your favorite low-calorie beverage.
Pro tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or smoked paprika on the bell peppers before serving.
- Keep the bell peppers dry until ready to serve to maintain their crispness.
