Instructions

1. 1 Wash and dry peppers, and cut in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and white membranes, and trim away stems.
2. 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. 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. 4 Add ground turkey, cooked rice, minced onion, and minced garlic to the bowl. Using clean hands, mix the ingredients until evenly combined.
5. 5 Divide turkey mixture evenly into the prepared bell pepper halves, and spray the tops with olive oil spray.
6. 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. 7 Garnish with Italian flat-leaf parsley and serve warm.
