Ingredients

3/4 cup water
1/2 cup uncooked couscous
2 (4-ounce) links spicy turkey Italian sausage

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled garlic-and-herb goat cheese, divided

While couscous stands, remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from heat. Stir in couscous, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Stir in 6 tablespoons cheese.
Cut tops off bell peppers; reserve tops. Discard seeds and membranes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt evenly inside peppers. Divide sausage mixture evenly among peppers. Replace tops of peppers.
