Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground turkey
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup diced tomato
8 orange bell peppers
1 ½ cups rice, cooked

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook onions and garlic for 3 minutes, or until they start to soften. Add the ground turkey to the pan, followed by salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add zucchini and diced tomatoes. Cook until zucchini has begun to soften and remove from heat.
  • Cut the top off of the bell pepper low enough that the stem remains attached and remove the seeds. Save the top!
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Carefully, carve out your desired jack-o'-lantern face using a steak knife or paring knife. Repeat for the rest of the bell peppers.
  • Place carved bell peppers in a baking dish and spoon in a layer of cooked rice in the bottom followed by the turkey mixture, and top with mozzarella cheese. Put the top of the bell pepper back on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until peppers are tender and the cheese has melted.
  • Enjoy!
