For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a diced onion and bell pepper to the ground turkey as it cooks. If you prefer a spicier kick, use a hot dirty rice mix or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling. To prevent the peppers from becoming soggy, you can roast them in the oven for 10 minutes before stuffing them. Feel free to substitute ground beef, chicken, or a plant-based alternative for the ground turkey. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack, for a unique twist.
