Ingredients
- 4 large Green bell peppers
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small, diced White onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the green bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them on a baking sheet with the cut side facing up.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent browning.
Step 5
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 6
Stir the tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper into the turkey mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 7
Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into the halves of the green peppers, pressing down lightly to fill them completely.
Step 8
Top each stuffed pepper with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Darcie's Green Pepper Sandwiches!
