Ingredients
- 4 large Bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 small, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
- 1 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Arrange them upright in a baking dish.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the cauliflower rice and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 6
Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and add the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the parsley and lemon juice.
Step 8
Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into each hollowed-out bell pepper.
Step 9
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Mediterranean Stuffed Bell Peppers!
