Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious and satisfying meal:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your stuffed peppers will cook evenly and thoroughly.
2. Prepare the bell peppers by cutting the tops off and removing the seeds. This creates a perfect cavity for stuffing.
3. Mix the filling by combining the ground turkey, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Ensure the ingredients are well-blended for even flavor distribution.
4. Stuff the peppers by spooning the mixture into each bell pepper. Place them upright in a baking dish to prevent spillage.
5. Top with cheese by sprinkling shredded cheddar or mozzarella over each stuffed pepper. This will create a delicious, gooey topping as it bakes.
6. Cover and bake by placing foil over the dish and baking for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired to add a pop of color and freshness.
