Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the diced onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is soft.
- Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Spoon the turkey and rice mixture into the prepared bell peppers, filling them to the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each pepper.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Stuffed peppers have a rich history, with variations found in cuisines around the world. The addition of ground turkey to the filling adds a lean and flavorful twist to this classic dish. In the early 20th century, Italian immigrants in the United States popularized stuffed peppers, incorporating ground turkey as a healthier alternative to traditional beef or pork. Today, renowned chefs like Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay have put their own spin on this dish, elevating it to new heights. For the best version of this dish, head to the Mediterranean region, where the use of fresh herbs and spices enhances the flavors of the ground turkey filling. The key to getting this dish right lies in the perfect balance of tender peppers, savory turkey, and aromatic seasonings. Whether you prefer a traditional approach or a modern twist, stuffed peppers with ground turkey are a delightful and satisfying meal option.
