Ingredients
6 orange bell peppers, tops, and seeds removed
1 pound ground turkey
â…“ cup chopped onion
1 (14.5 ounces) can of diced tomatoes, or more to taste
½ cup white rice
½ cup water
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook orange bell peppers in boiling water until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
Stir tomatoes, rice, 1/2 cup water, and liquid smoke into turkey mixture; cover the skillet and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat; stir in Gouda cheese.
Stuff each orange bell pepper with turkey mixture and place peppers, open-side up, in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is melted 25 to 35 minutes.
