    • 🍄 1 (4 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
    • 🍅 1 cup chopped tomatoes

  • Proteins

    • 1 pound ground turkey

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • Staples

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧄 6 cloves garlic, minced
    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon half-and-half, or to taste

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 1-quart baking dish.

2

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook peppers in boiling water until slightly tender, about 3 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water until cooled.

3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook ground turkey, onions, mushrooms, and garlic in the hot oil until turkey is completely browned; drain grease from the turkey mixture. Transfer drained turkey mixture to a bowl and return skillet to medium heat.

4

Melt butter in the skillet; add flour, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth. Stream milk and half-and-half into the flour mixture while stirring; bring to a boil. Cook and stir the milk mixture until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Return turkey mixture to the skillet; add tomatoes and 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese. Cook and stir the turkey mixture until hot and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes; spoon into the bell pepper halves.

5

Arrange stuffed pepper halves into the prepared baking dish; top with remaining Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and panko. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

6

Bake in preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot, 25 to 30 minutes.

7

Switch oven to broil, remove foil, and cook peppers under the broiler until the panko is browned, about 5 minutes.
