    Scrumptious Stuffed Pepper Ingredients

    Now let me go over my ingredient list along with some of my favorite garnishes. One thing that stands out about my stuffed pepper recipe is that I prefer to use ground turkey instead of beef. Turkey contains way less fat and is overall much healthier than beef, but still tastes fantastic in recipes like this. Here’s what I use:

    Stuffed Peppers:

    • 6 Bell Peppers
    • 4 Tsp Olive Oil
    • 2 cloves of garlic – chopped
    • 1 small yellow onion – chopped
    • 16 oz. ground turkey
    • 2 tbsp tomato paste
    • ½ cup cooked rice
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • ½ tsp ground cumin
    • ¼ tsp ground pepper
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 1 cup vegetable broth

    Garnishes:

    • Sour cream
    • Parsley
    • Grated Parmesan Cheese

    How to Make Scrumptious Stuffed Bell Peppers

    Now let’s move on to the process of making these satisfyingly stuffed peppers! This process is pretty easy overall but it does take a little while to cook everything so let’s get started! Here’s how I make scrumptious stuffed bell peppers: 

    1. First, preheat the oven to 400°F. Then, prepare the bell peppers by cutting the tops off evenly and removing the core and the seeds. Do not discard the tops, set them aside for later.
    2. Next, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook just until soft, about 5 minutes. Add in the tomato paste and chopped garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Drop in the ground turkey and cook while breaking up the meat for about 6 minutes, or until there’s no more pink. Drain out the fat.
    3. After draining, return the turkey mixture to the skillet and stir in the cooked rice. Season with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. If needed, let the mixture simmer just until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.
    4. Then, transfer the prepared peppers to an 8×8 baking dish and drizzle each one with olive oil. Spoon the turkey mixture into each pepper, then cover each pepper with its pepper top. Then, pour the vegetable broth, or stock, in the bottom of the dish.
      1. This will add extra flavor and help the peppers stay moist while baking and create a yummy sauce to use later.
    5. Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the desired softness is reached. 
    6. Finally, transfer the hot peppers to serving plates and garnish with sour cream, parsley, grated parmesan, or any of your favorite garnishes!
