Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove all seeds and membranes. If needed, trim a small slice from the bottom so peppers stand upright. Arrange in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cook rice according to package directions using 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth instead of water. Set aside when done.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Stir in drained diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to let flavors blend.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice and fresh parsley. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Stuff each bell pepper with the turkey and rice mixture, packing it down gently. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish around the peppers.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until peppers are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the tops. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
These stuffed peppers can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the cooking time if baking from cold. Leftover stuffed peppers keep in the refrigerator for 3 days and reheat well in the microwave. For a spicier version, add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture.
