Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 6 orange bell peppers, tops and seeds removed

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • ⅓ cup chopped onion

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, or more to taste

  • ½ cup white rice

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

  • 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook orange bell peppers in boiling water until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

  4. Stir tomatoes, rice, 1/2 cup water, and liquid smoke into turkey mixture; cover the skillet and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat; stir in Gouda cheese.

  5. Stuff each orange bell pepper with turkey mixture and place peppers, open-side up, in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 25 to 35 minutes.
