Ingredients

  • 6 fresh green bell peppers with their tops and seeds gently scooped out
  • 3 tablespoons of rich olive oil
  • A generous pound of ground turkey
  • 1 finely diced white onion
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of savory salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of fragrant black pepper
  • A can of sweet corn (15.5 ounces), drained of excess liquid
  • A can of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces), drained to perfection
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of aromatic thyme
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of dried rosemary, adding a hint of earthiness
  • 1 tablespoon of crushed fennel seeds for a burst of flavor
  • 1 cup of pure water
  • ⅓ cup of delicate white rice
  • ¼ cup of sweet and tangy barbeque sauce
  • 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, adding a creamy finish

Step 1

To kick off this flavorful creation, start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Now, get your casserole dish ready and lay out those vibrant bell peppers with their cavities facing upwards, ready to be filled with goodness.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, let some olive oil sizzle as you brown the turkey until it's beautifully cooked through, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, toss in the onion, sprinkle in some salt and pepper, and let them mingle with the turkey for about 3 minutes. Now, it's time to add in the corn, tomatoes, fragrant thyme, rosemary, and a hint of fennel to the mix. Pour in the water, add the rice, and give everything a good stir. Bring it all to a gentle boil, cover it up, lower the heat, and let it simmer until the rice reaches that perfect tender consistency, which should take roughly 15 minutes. Just before taking it off the heat, swirl in that luscious barbeque sauce for an extra punch of flavor.

Step 3

Now, the fun part! Spoon the delectable turkey mixture into each waiting bell pepper, filling them up about a third of the way. Sprinkle a generous portion of the feta cheese over the top, creating a delightful cheesy layer. Continue filling up the peppers with the remaining turkey mixture and finish it off with another sprinkle of that savory feta cheese.

Step 4

Pop your stuffed peppers into the preheated oven and let them bake until the peppers turn tender, beckoning with irresistible aromas, which should be around 45 minutes. Enjoy the delightful transformation that awaits you!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. When storing leftover stuffing from your savory turkey and feta stuffed peppers, consider freezing it in individual portions. This way, you can easily defrost and enjoy it as a quick and delicious meal later on.
  2. 2. To keep your stuffed peppers fresh for longer, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help prevent them from drying out and losing their flavor.
