    • 1 lb ground turkey
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup cauliflower rice
    • 1 cup diced tomatoes
    • 1/2 cup tomato sauce (check for Paleo-friendly ingredients)
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    Topping

    • 1/2 cup shredded Paleo-friendly cheese (optional)

    Serving

    • Fresh parsley, chopped

    Instructions

    Preparing the Bell Peppers

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
    3. Place the bell peppers upright in a baking dish.

    Making the Filling

    1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    2. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
    3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
    4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
    5. Stir in the cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture is heated through.

    Stuffing the Peppers

    1. Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell peppers.
    2. If using shredded cheese, sprinkle it over the tops of the stuffed peppers.

    Baking the Peppers

    1. Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
    2. If using cheese, broil the stuffed peppers for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Serving the Stuffed Peppers

    1. Serve the Paleo turkey stuffed bell peppers garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.

    Customizing the Filling

    Feel free to customize your stuffed peppers with additional Paleo-friendly ingredients such as diced carrots, celery, or mushrooms.
