How To Make turkey-stuffed peppers

  • 1
    Cut the tops off the bell peppers and scoop out the seeds and ribs. Stand the peppers upright in a deep baking dish big enough to hold them snugly.
  • 2
    Combine the uncooked turkey, onion, celery, rice, salt, pepper, half the tomato sauce, and half the cheese in a bowl and mix well.
  • 3
    Stuff the peppers with the turkey mixture. Combine the remaining tomato sauce and wine and pour over and around the peppers.
  • 4
    Top with the remaining cheese and bake covered in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 45 minutes.
  • 5
    Remove the cover, reduce the temperature to 350F (180C), and cook until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes, basting the peppers occasionally with the sauce.
