Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers might just be my most cooked recipe this year. I’ve made them so many times and each time I try a different flavor combination. As soon as I hit this mix, I knew it was the one! I think the addition of feta cheese really elevates the stuffing.
To make these stuffed peppers, I start by blanching them in boiling water. I then cook some ground turkey with garlic and seasoning. I mix the turkey with some pasta sauce to make the stuffing mixture. Once that’s prepared, I stuff the pepper halves and then bake them in the oven. These take a while to cook but they are worth every minute!
To make my Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Line 15x10 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Submerge the bell pepper halves in the boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes and then drain. Place the peppers cut side up in the baking dish.
Heat some olive oil in a medium sized pan. Fry the turkey, garlic, Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat. Break up the turkey as it cooks, until turkey is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid from the pan.
Place the turkey mixture in a medium bowl. Add the pasta sauce, chickpeas and artichoke hearts. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and ½ a cup of the feta cheese. Mix well.
Stuff the bell pepper shells with the turkey mixture.
Spray one side of a piece of foil with cooking spray. Cover the peppers with the foil, sprayed side down. Cook in the oven for 32-37 minutes, until the bell peppers are tender and filling is hot.
Place the tomatoes, basil and remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl and mix well.
Spoon the tomato mixture and remaining ¼ cup of feta cheese onto the bell peppers before serving
