Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large bell peppers (any color)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the hollowed peppers aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors combine.
Remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the turkey and cauliflower rice mixture evenly into each bell pepper, packing it slightly.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops of the stuffed peppers, and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy low-carb meal!
