Main Ingredients

  • 4 large large bell peppers (any color) Choose firm peppers for best results.
  • 1 pound ground turkey or chicken Feel free to substitute with beef, pork, or a plant-based protein.
  • 1 cup cooked cauliflower rice Pre-cook to ensure the right texture.
  • 1 small onion, chopped Provides flavor to the filling.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Enhances the flavor of the filling.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (no sugar added) Helps to keep the filling moist.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Add according to taste.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional) Use for added freshness.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Carefully slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Reserve the tops for future use or chop them for the stuffing.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey or chicken. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
  • Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the cooked cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through.
  • Spoon the filling mixture into each hollowed-out bell pepper until they are generously filled.
  • Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and pour a little water into the bottom (this helps steam the peppers).
  • Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider trying variations such as adding cheese before baking or including spicy elements like jalapeños.
