1 pound ground turkey
1 (8 ounce) box dirty rice mix, (such as Zatarain’s®)
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon avocado oil or other vegetable oil
4 large red or green bell peppers, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. Add dirty rice mix, water, and vegetable oil; bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pepper halves, 4 at a time, and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a colander to drain.
Spread stewed tomatoes in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Place pepper halves on top of tomatoes, cut side up. Stuff each with dirty rice mixture; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
