Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bell peppers tops removed
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds.
  2. Brown the ground turkey in a skillet, then stir in the rice, marinara, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Stand the peppers in a baking dish and spoon the filling into each.
  4. Top with mozzarella and cover the dish with foil.
  5. Bake 30 minutes covered, then 5 minutes uncovered until the cheese is melted and peppers are tender.

Notes

A splash of water in the bottom of the dish helps the peppers steam tender.
