A simple and healthy Crockpot Stuffed Peppers recipe featuring ground turkey, cooked rice, and diced tomatoes, seasoned with Italian herbs and slow-cooked to tender perfection. This easy one-pot meal is perfect for a hands-off dinner with flavorful, juicy stuffed peppers.

Ingredients

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked rice, diced tomatoes with their juice, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Stuff the Peppers: Take each halved bell pepper and stuff it generously with the turkey and rice mixture, pressing gently to fill each cavity well.
  3. Arrange in Crockpot: Place the stuffed pepper halves upright in the crockpot, fitting them snugly together to prevent falling over during cooking.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook the stuffed peppers on the low setting for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the peppers to become tender.
  5. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the crockpot and serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or grated cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground turkey with cooked lentils or plant-based meat alternatives.
  • Use cooked quinoa instead of rice for a gluten-free, higher protein option.
  • If you prefer spicier flavors, add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the filling mixture.
  • Make sure not to overfill the peppers to prevent spilling during cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
