Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup cooked rice

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
