Description

These light and healthy Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers always make for an easy, protein-packed dinner! They’re stuffed with an aromatic turkey filling, topped with marinara and cheese, and are naturally keto and low carb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced and seeds removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 4 oz. mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 14 oz. diced tomatoes with their juices
  • 6 tbsp marinara sauce
  • 6 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese (microbial-rennet)
  • fresh basil for garnish, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the garlic and sauté 1 minute.
  2. Cook Turkey Filling: Add the turkey, salt, Italian seasoning, oregano, and basil, using a wooden spoon to break it up. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, then pour in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine; set aside and allow mixture to cool for a few minutes.
  3. Prepare Peppers: Slice the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds, then place them face up in a casserole dish.
  4. Stuff and Top: Divide the turkey mixture amongst the peppers, stuffing them as full as you can without them spilling over. Top each pepper with 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce and 1 tablespoon of cheese.
  5. Bake: Cover the dish with foil, then bake the peppers for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 more minutes. Top with fresh basil and enjoy!

Notes

To prevent peppers from tipping, trim the bottom slightly. For larger portions, slice off the tops of the peppers instead of cutting them in half.
