Really good. We don't usually eat ground turkey, but these were terrific. My family didn't know it was turkey until I told them! Wonderful recipe. Will be making it again for sure. -
Quite delicious! we loved them, they were kinda like a turkey meatloaf inside a sweet pepper, lots of flavour. I will make them again. I did cut them a little different, instead of in half I left them whole with a hat on top. We enjoyed them very much, thanks for posting.

I enjoyed trying this recipe out because I like stuffed peppers. It had good flavor for my husband and I. Didn't add the salt.
