Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500 grams ground turkey
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 whole medium onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 100 grams kalamata olives
- 150 grams feta cheese
- 400 grams diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and dice the onion, then add them to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Dice the zucchini and finely chop the kalamata olives, then add them to the skillet with the browned turkey.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (including their juice), oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the crumbled feta cheese.
Fill each bell pepper with the turkey mixture and place them in a baking dish.
Top each filled pepper with the remaining crumbled feta cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the peppers are tender.
Garnish the stuffed peppers with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful low-carb Mediterranean stuffed bell peppers!
