Ingredients

• 4 whole Bell peppers
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the cauliflower rice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Place the bell peppers in a baking dish, ensuring they stand upright. If needed, trim a small slice off the bottom of the peppers to help them stand.

Step 7

Stuff each bell pepper with the turkey and vegetable mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling tightly.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Step 10

Garnish the stuffed peppers with fresh parsley before serving.
