– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Preparing Flavorful Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers can be simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Set aside.
3. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until soft.
4. Add Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
5. Mix Ingredients: Stir in cooked rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Fill the Peppers: Spoon the turkey mixture into each bell pepper, filling them generously.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper, adding an extra layer of flavor.
8. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish, adding a splash of water at the bottom to keep them moist.
9. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes to let the cheese become bubbly and golden.
10. Cool and Serve: Once done, take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
