Notes
Use bell peppers of similar size for even cooking.
Precook the rice to ensure it cooks fully inside the peppers.
You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef if preferred.
Add shredded cheese on top during the last 30 minutes for a cheesy variation.
For extra flavor, sauté the ground turkey with onions and garlic before mixing.
