Preparation:
Preheat oven at 350.
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and clean out the seeds.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, put the peppers in, and boil for 5 minutes.
Remove the peppers carefully and place in a big baking dish that allows just enough room for all the peppers. Set aside.
In the meantime begin to prepare the stuffing; Put the onions in a skillet, drizzle with EVOO, and cook for 2 minutes before adding in the ground turkey.
Cook until the meat is browned and add in the rice; mix well and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, salt, basil, cayenne pepper, and onion salt; allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the stove and begin to stuff the peppers.
When finished, place a slice of tomato on top of each pepper to seal.
Put in the oven for 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
If youre feeling naughty, add a dollop of sour cream on top YUM!
