These stuffed bell peppers are a delightful and hearty dish, perfect for a family dinner or a cozy meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the peppers.
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes inside.
Save the tops to chop and add to the filling for extra flavor.
Boil the bell peppers in a large pot of water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Boiling the peppers softens them, making them easier to stuff and cook evenly.
In a skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, then add the ground turkey and cook until browned.
Break up the turkey as it cooks to ensure even browning.
Mix in the tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Stuff the bell peppers with the turkey mixture and place them in a baking dish.
Pack the filling tightly to ensure each pepper is full and satisfying.
Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Cover the dish with foil if you prefer softer peppers.
Sprinkle the tops with shredded cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Switch to broil for the last minute for a golden, bubbly cheese topping.
Serve the stuffed peppers warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
