Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for the baking process.

Step 2: Cook Ground Turkey

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until it is no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

Step 3: Sauté Onion and Garlic

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Stir in the cooked quinoa, drained diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 5: Add Cheese

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese for added creaminess.

Step 6: Prepare the Peppers

Brush the cut sides of the bell peppers with olive oil and arrange them upright in a baking dish, preparing them for the filling.

Step 7: Fill the Peppers

Generously spoon the turkey mixture into each pepper half, ensuring they are well-filled. Top each one with the remaining cheese for a delicious topping.

Step 8: Bake Covered

Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes.

Step 9: Bake Uncovered

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 10: Cool and Serve

Allow the peppers to cool slightly before serving, as this will help enhance the flavors for your meal.
