Instructions

Creating Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Turkey is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the outside with olive oil, if desired.
3. Cook Turkey: In a skillet over medium heat, add ground turkey. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula.
4. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
5. Mix Fillings: In a large bowl, combine the cooked turkey mixture, cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
6. Stuff Peppers: Spoon the turkey filling into each bell pepper, packing it down slightly.
7. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Pour a little water in the bottom of the dish (about 1/2 cup) to help steam the peppers while baking.
8. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the peppers are tender.
9. Add Cheese: Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the stuffed peppers, and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
10. Cool and Garnish: Once out of the oven, let the peppers cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you’ll create delicious Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Turkey effortlessly.
