Ingredients

• 4 medium bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 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 tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the hollowed-out peppers aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes (with liquid), tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Combine everything well and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Place the hollowed-out bell peppers in a baking dish, cut-side up, and evenly fill them with the hot turkey mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the stuffed peppers.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your low carb stuffed peppers!
