Ingredients
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 190°C. Arrange pepper halves in a dish, cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes.
- 2
Meanwhile, cook onion in oil for 5 minutes. Add turkey and break it into small pieces until no longer pink.
- 3
Add spinach, oregano, half the passata, and rice. Stir until spinach wilts, then taste the mixture.

Drain any water from the pepper dish. Fill the shells, spoon over remaining passata, and add cheese.

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until peppers are tender and turkey is safely cooked.
Cooking Tips
- Choose peppers of similar size so they soften at the same rate.
- Use cooked rice; raw rice will not have enough liquid or time to soften.
