Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: For this recipe, it's best to use large, firm bell peppers with a deep cavity. Look for peppers that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cook the turkey thoroughly: To ensure that the turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini tends to cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your stuffed bell peppers. Some other options include ground beef, sausage, rice, beans, and vegetables.
  • Serve immediately: Stuffed bell peppers are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will prevent the peppers from becoming soggy.

Turkey Zucchini Stuffed Jack-o'-Lantern Bell Peppers are a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for Halloween. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences.
