Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the peppers aside, and dice the edible tops of the peppers.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and the diced tops of the bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), cauliflower rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
Place the hollowed-out bell peppers in a baking dish. Spoon the turkey mixture into each pepper, filling them generously.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed pepper. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish the stuffed bell peppers with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy hot!
