There are so many modifications you can make to this dish, here are a few. Using wild or black rice will add a lot of texture, you can top with breadcrumbs and grated parmesan, add some caramelized inions and deglaze the pan with a splash of wine or brandy, add mushrooms (a favorite of mine but a deal-breaker for some…) Let me know what additions you end up making and hope you enjoy!
Steps to make these stuffed tomatoes and peppers
How do you make stuffed tomatoes and peppers?
- Start off by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the ground turkey in a medium sized pan and mix together the spices and sea salt in a small bowl.
- When the ground turkey starts to brown, mix in the spice mixture. Make sure to get a nice even sprinkle all around.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and give it a good mix with a wooden spoon to make sure everything is evenly coated.
- Pour in the raisins and almond slivers and give the ground turkey another mix.
- Wash the tomatoes and peppers then cut them in half. Clean out the insides with a spoon and place them out on a baking pan.
