Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet bell peppers large
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1 tomato medium, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lightly spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
  2. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Place the pepper halves on the baking sheet, cut side up.
  3. In a large skillet, cook turkey and diced onions until the onions are tender and the turkey is almost cooked through. Stir in the tomato and all remaining ingredients, excluding the cheese.
  4. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens, becomes bubbly, and the turkey is fully cooked.
  5. Spoon the turkey mixture into the bell pepper halves. Top with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

Cheese Swap: I often switch up the cheese here, a sharp cheddar or even some shredded mozzarella would melt beautifully and add a different creamy texture.
Pepper Choice: While sweet bell peppers are classic
