Ingredients
Scale
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into the prepared bell peppers.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. You can add a little water to the bottom of the dish to help keep the peppers moist.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
If using, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious creation!
Notes
You can substitute ground chicken or lean ground beef for the turkey.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to the filling.
