- Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Place the bell peppers in a baking dish (if they are leaning too much, trim the bottom slightly to create a flat surface).
- Stuff each bell pepper with the turkey and rice mixture. Top each pepper with 1 tbsp. tomato sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom baking dish, this will help steam the peppers. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove bake uncovered for about 5 more minutes, until cheese melts.
