Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large bell peppers all colors are great for this!
  • 2 cups rice we use white, but wild rice works well too
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 16oz jar crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese choose your favorite!
  • shredded cheese for melty tops!
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Prepare rice and set aside (or start it so it is ready when you are)
  • Cut off the tops of the peppers, remove the seeds, trim the bottoms to help them sit flat and rinse thoroughly. In a large pot, boil the pepper for about 5 minutes and remove to drain upside down onto a plate or towel.
  • In a large skillet add the olive oil, garlic and onion. Saute until tender, then add the turkey. Stir until browned and cooked through.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until blended.
  • Fill the peppers evenly with the mixture, place in a lightly greased baking dish (or cast iron skillet). Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese to top and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve and enjoy hot out of the oven!
