Ingredients

  • 4 peppers tops cut off and seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dill weed
  • ¼ teaspoon dried mint
  • cup crumbled feta cheese plus extra for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place hollowed out peppers in a baking dish. If the peppers don’t stand up, slice a little sliver off the bottom to give it a flat surface for stability.
  • Add onion to skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until softened and translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute or so.
  • Move onion aside on the skillet and add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with spoon {or a potato masher, which is my favorite tool for this task!}. Cook until the turkey is browned, mixing with the onion and garlic mixture.
  • Add oregano, dill, and dried mint and cook for about a minute. Toss in the crumbled feta and stir until just starting to melt.
  • Divide meat evenly among the four hollowed peppers. Top with a little extra feta if desired.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the peppers begin to soften and the tops are lightly browned.
  • Serve with rice or quinoa for a complete meal!
