This Crockpot Stuffed Peppers recipe combines lean ground turkey, cooked rice, and flavorful diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning, all slow-cooked inside halved bell peppers. It's a comforting, hands-off meal perfect for busy days or cozy dinners, delivering tender, juicy peppers infused with a savory filling.

Ingredients

Stuffed Peppers Ingredients

  • 4 bell peppers, halved
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked rice, diced tomatoes (including the juice), and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Stuff Peppers: Take each halved bell pepper and fill it generously with the turkey and rice mixture, pressing it in slightly to ensure the filling is compact.
  3. Arrange in Crockpot: Place the stuffed pepper halves upright inside the crockpot in a single layer, ensuring they are stable and not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on the low setting for 6 hours. This slow cooking allows the peppers to become tender and the filling to cook through, melding the flavors.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the crockpot and serve warm, optionally adding grated cheese or fresh herbs as a garnish if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or lean ground beef if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or garlic to the filling mixture before stuffing.
  • Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes into the filling mixture.
