4 large green peppers or 4 large red peppers, seeded, cored and sliced in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup mushroom, chopped

On stovetop in a medium skillet or saucepan, sauté mushroom, onion, celery and garlic in olive oil until veggies are soft; remove from heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl,combine ground turkey, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.

Tips:

Choose bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored. Look for peppers that are free of blemishes and bruises.
Use a variety of bell peppers to add color and flavor to your dish. Green bell peppers are the mildest, while red and orange bell peppers are sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
To make the stuffing, use a combination of ground beef, turkey, or pork. You can also add vegetables like chopped onions, celery, and carrots.
Season the stuffing to taste with your favorite herbs and spices. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
Bake the stuffed bell peppers at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep the peppers tender and juicy.
Serve the stuffed bell peppers immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
