"We like these just as much as the beef and rice peppers, make. If you like spicy food choose a can of diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers and used a spicy mexican tomato sauce or add some chili flakes or minced jalapenos to the ground turkey"

Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place in a casserole dish - the bottom of the dish should be covered with a thin layer of tomato sauce.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground turkey, brown rice, and diced tomatoes. Season with more season salt and pepper if needed.

Step 5

Scoop mixture into each bell pepper half.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese over top of each pepper.

Covered with foil and bake for 40 minutes (for softer peppers, cook a little longer).
