How to Store the Keto Turkey and Cheese Stuffed Peppers
Seal leftovers by wrapping the entire dish in aluminum foil and then in plastic wrap. Leave no part of the peppers exposed to avoid freezer burn. You can also freeze each pepper separately by allowing them to cool before wrapping them in plastic wrap. Place them in airtight freezer bags and place them in the freezer.
