These air fryer turkey stuffed peppers are colorful and tasty - they take only about 20 minutes in the air fryer. Peppers are stuffed with a simple ground turkey filling with Italian herb seasoning and they are finished with melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

3 bells peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.75 teaspoons salt , divided, or to taste
1 large egg
0.25 cups ketchup
1.5 tablespoons Italian herb seasoning blend
0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup minced onion
4 garlics cloves
olive oil cooking spray
0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
parsley , optional

Instructions

1

Wash and dry peppers, and cut in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and white membranes, and trim away stems.
2

Brush the outside of each pepper half with olive oil, and place on a work surface, cut side up; sprinkle the inside of each very lightly with salt, about 1/4 teaspoon total.
3

In a large bowl, combine egg, ketchup, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir vigorously with a fork or small whisk, until ingredients are well blended.
4

Add ground turkey, cooked rice, minced onion, and minced garlic to the bowl. Using clean hands, mix the ingredients until evenly combined.
5

Divide turkey mixture evenly into the prepared bell pepper halves, and spray the tops with olive oil spray.
6

Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), if recommended by the manufacturer. Air fry for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle tops of peppers evenly with mozzarella and air fry until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Peppers are done when an instant read thermometer inserted near the center reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7

Garnish with Italian flat-leaf parsley and serve warm.
