Tips

If pressed for time, you can soften pepper in the microwave, by sprinkling with water and cooking at 50% power in 1 minute intervals. Do this before stuffing with meat mixture.

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375. Coat pan with non-stick Pam olive oil spray. Add garlic and onion. Sweat onions for 2-3 minutes. Add ground turkey, and brown. Add rice, peas, spaghetti sauce, and seasoning. Let simmer.
Cut tops off of peppers, and hollow out by removing seeds. Fill each pepper, half way, with meat mixture. Add some feta cheese. Fill rest of pepper. Top with remaining cheese.
Carefully stand peppers, upright, in dish. Bake for 30 minutes.
