How to make Ground Turkey and Rice Stuffed Peppers:
Step one: Start by preparing your rice to the package directions and set aside.
- Tip: For this recipe, I used instant rice to save time. Since you are preparing it ahead of time you can use any rice but it will change the prep time listed in the recipe card.
Step two: Next go ahead and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step three: In a skillet cook and crumble ground turkey. Drain fat as needed.
Step four: To your skillet add in crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add more seasoning to taste. Allow simmering for 5-8 minutes on low then add in rice and mix together well.
Cooking Instructions:
Step five: Cut bell peppers and place them in a baking dish. Spoon in ground turkey and rice mixture into each bell pepper then sprinkle on shredded cheese.

I’ve been using ground turkey for years. I personally don’t like the taste of ground beef. Turkey will take the flavor of any seasoning you add and it is much lighter than beef. These meatballs look fantastic. Whenever I’m making spaghetti my guys always want meatballs. Pinning!
