Ingredients

– 4 large bell peppers (any color)

– 1 cup cooked rice (brown or white)
– 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
– 1 small onion, finely chopped

Instructions

Making Ground Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to create this delicious dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly brush them with olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.
3. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, for about 5-7 minutes.
5. Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Fill the Peppers: Spoon the turkey mixture into each bell pepper, pressing down slightly to pack it in.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that’s not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor!
