Method

12 steps · 45 min

01
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 35 °C.
02
Prepare Peppers
Cut the tops off the bell peppers, then scoop out and discard the seeds and membranes.
03
Blanch Peppers
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the prepared peppers and boil for 5 minutes to soften them slightly.
04
Arrange Peppers
Using tongs, carefully remove the blanched peppers and arrange them upright in a baking dish that fits them snugly. Set the dish aside for now.
05
Sauté Onion and Turkey
While the peppers are cooling, start on the stuffing. In a skillet, add the onions and drizzle with 1 tablespoon EVOO. Cook for 2 minutes until softened before crumbling in the ground turkey.
06
Brown Turkey and Rice
Continue to cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until the meat is browned through. Stir in the ¼ cup rice, mix well, and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
07
Simmer Filling
Add the 2 slices diced tomatoes, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon basil, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and ¼ teaspoon onion salt to the skillet. Stir everything together and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
08
Stuff Peppers
Take the skillet off the stove. Carefully spoon the turkey and rice filling into each blanched bell pepper, packing it gently.
09
Top with Tomato
Once all the peppers are stuffed, place a slice of tomato on top of each one. This helps keep the filling moist as it bakes.
10
Bake Peppers
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
11
Cool and Serve
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the stuffed peppers cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. They'll be very hot.
12
Optional Topping
If you like, a dollop of sour cream on top makes a nice addition.
