Ingredients
Calorie controlled cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Peppers, all types
4 medium
Onion
1 large, finely chopped
Garlic
3 clove(s), finely chopped
Parsley, fresh
2 tablespoon(s), finely chopped
Dill, Fresh
1 tablespoon(s), finely chopped
Tinned Tomatoes

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 190°c, fan 170°c, gas mark 5.
2
Slice the tops off the peppers, reserving them. Carefully remove the seeds and trim a thin sliver off the bottom if the peppers don't stand upright.
3
To make the filling, combine half the onion, half the garlic, parsley, dill, 1⁄4 tinned tomatoes, rice, turkey with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
4
To make the sauce, heat a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the oil. Fry the remaining onion for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining tomatoes, a pinch of salt and 175ml water. Bring to a boil over a high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 minute.
5
Loosely stuff the peppers with the filling (leaving enough room for the rice to expand) and nestle the peppers in a baking dish. Replace the pepper tops and spoon the tomato sauce around the peppers in the baking dish.
6
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 75-90 minutes until the peppers are tender and the rice is cooked.
