Steps:
- Trim about 1/8 inch from the bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright. Cut the top 1/4 inch off each pepper. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops and set aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can from inside the peppers.
- Mix the reserved chopped pepper with the ground beef, tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup of the cheese, cooked rice, garlic, 3 of the scallions, chili powder, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl with your hands until combined. Dividing evenly, spoon the filling into the hollowed-out peppers, packing it in (the filling will mound a bit above the tops).
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, then add the stuffed peppers. Season the top of each pepper with another pinch of salt. Cover and cook on high until the peppers are tender and the ground beef is cooked through, for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese, cover and cook on high for 10 minutes more to melt the cheese. Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining scallions and add a dollop of sour cream to each.

Tips:
- Select the right bell peppers: Choose large, firm bell peppers with thick walls. Different colors of bell peppers, such as green, red, orange, and yellow, can be used to add visual appeal to the dish.
- Prepare the bell peppers properly: Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. This will create a "boat" shape for the stuffing.
- Cook the turkey thoroughly: Ground turkey should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure food safety.
- Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what gives the bell peppers their flavor, so make sure to use a stuffing that you enjoy. There are many different stuffing recipes available, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you like.
- Top with cheese: Adding a layer of cheese to the top of the bell peppers before baking will help to brown and crisp the topping.
- Serve hot: Crock-Pot Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers are best served hot out of the oven. They can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for added flavor.

Crock-Pot Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover turkey.
