Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Wash bell peppers, cut off tops (save them to dice up and add inside the peppers!) & stem, and remove seeds/stem from inside. (If your peppers have a rounded bottom that makes them difficult to stand upright, slice just a little off the bottom just to make them have a flat bottom)

  2. 2

    Boil a large pot of water and have a bowl of ice water ready to blanch the peppers. Boil for 1-2 minutes (longer for softer peppers, shorter for more crisp peppers). Remove peppers and place in ice water to stop them from continuing to cook. After about a minute, remove peppers and place them standing up in a casserole dish. Use a paper towel to remove any excess water.

  3. 3

    Dice up garlic, onions, and the tops of the peppers. Sauté with the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    Pan fry the turkey, while breaking it into small pieces, with sage, salt, pepper, and any other spices you may like. Once it is browned (about 7 minutes), remove and combine with the garlic, onions, and peppers.

  5. 5

    Add about half of the jar of spaghetti sauce to the mixture and mix evenly. Scoop the mixture into the bell peppers.

  6. 6

    Pour remaining sauce on top and around the peppers.

  7. 7

    Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.

  8. 8

    Divide and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the peppers and continue baking for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

  9. 9

    Add Rosemary (or any other spice) on top of cheese, and let peppers cool for about 10 to 15 minutes.

  10. 10

    Serve with garlic bread and enjoy!
