   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.

   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.
