How to cook deliciously - Acorn's Turkey-Stuffed Peppers

1. Stage

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion, and garlic. Season with red pepper flakes, adobo seasoning, and oregano. Cook until turkey is browned and onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.

2. Stage

Set 1/2 cup tomato sauce aside. Mix remaining tomato sauce, water, and rice into the turkey mixture. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, cut stems and tops off the peppers. Carefully core the peppers, removing all seeds and excess ribs, and rinse. Place the peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes.

4. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

5. Stage

Evenly spread reserved tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Carefully arrange peppers in the dish so they will not fall over during baking. Carefully fill about halfway with turkey-rice mixture. Distribute 1 cup cheese over the filling. Add remaining filling and sprinkle tops with remaining cheese.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 30 minutes. Broil in the last 3 minutes for a crispier, browned top.
