For a richer flavor, use Italian-style turkey sausage instead of ground turkey.
Add a layer of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese on top of the stuffed peppers during the last 5 minutes of baking for a melty, cheesy topping.
Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables in the filling, such as corn, peas, or carrots.
If you don't have fresh spinach, frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) can be used instead.
To save time, you can skip pre-baking the peppers, but the final baking time may need to be increased to ensure the peppers are tender.

    I added a little rice to the turkey mixture to make it more filling, and it turned out great!

    My kids are picky eaters, but they actually ate these without complaining!

  • Tito Gulgowski

    The peppers were a bit watery, so next time I'll make sure to drain the diced tomatoes really well.
