These light and healthy Ground Turkey Stuffed Peppers always make for an easy, protein-packed dinner! They’re stuffed with an aromatic turkey filling, topped with marinara and cheese, and are naturally keto and low carb.
Preheat oven to 400°. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the garlic and sauté 1 minute.
Add the turkey, salt, Italian seasoning, oregano, and basil, using a wooden spoon to break it up. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, then pour in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine; set aside and allow mixture to cool for a few minutes.
Slice the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds, then place them face up in a casserole dish.
Divide the turkey mixture amongst the peppers, stuffing them as full as you can without them spilling over. Top each pepper with 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce and 1 tablespoon of cheese.
Cover the dish with foil, then bake the peppers for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 more minutes. Top with fresh basil and enjoy!
