Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the bell peppers

Wash the orange bell peppers and pat them dry. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Using a sharp knife, carefully carve jack-o'-lantern faces into the sides of the peppers.

2
Cook the ground turkey

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.

3
Prepare the vegetables

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.

4
Mix the filling

In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground turkey, sautéed onion and garlic, cooked rice, diced tomatoes with their juices, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

5
Stuff the bell peppers

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon the turkey and rice mixture into the carved bell peppers, filling them to the top.

6
Bake the stuffed peppers

Place the stuffed bell pepper pumpkins in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.

7
Serve

Remove the bell pepper pumpkins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a festive and healthy Halloween appetizer or main course. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in these charming stuffed peppers!
