Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers, any color
• 1 pound ground turkey or lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cauliflower rice
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse them and set them aside.

3. In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.

4. Add the ground turkey (or lean ground beef) and cook until it's browned and cooked through. Break it up into smaller pieces with a spatula as it cooks.

5. Stir in the cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined.

6. Place the hollowed-out bell peppers in a baking dish.

7. Carefully stuff each bell pepper with the mixture from the skillet, pressing it down to fit as much as possible.

8. Top each stuffed bell pepper with shredded mozzarella cheese.

9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the bell peppers are tender.

10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

11. Once done, remove from the oven and let the stuffed bell peppers cool for a few minutes before serving.
