1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

Start by preparing the bell peppers. Slice the tops off and remove the seeds inside. Set them aside.

3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4

Next, add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 7-8 minutes.

5

Once the turkey is cooked, mix in the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

6

Now, fill each prepared bell pepper with the creamy turkey mixture. Make sure to pack the mixture in well.

7

Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. If necessary, you can trim the bottoms slightly to help them stand.

8

Pour a little water in the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the peppers during baking.

9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

10

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the tops are golden.
