Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the bell peppers in a casserole dish with the cavities facing upwards.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the turkey in the hot oil until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the onion into the turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir the mixture for 3 minutes. Add the corn, tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, and fennel to the turkey; stir. Pour the water over the mixture and add the rice; mix. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir the barbeque sauce through the mixture; remove the skillet from the heat.
- Spoon enough of the turkey mixture to fill each of the bell peppers about 1/3 of the way full. Divide about half of the feta cheese among the peppers, creating a layer of cheese atop the turkey mixture. Fill the peppers with the remaining turkey mixture and top with the remaining feta cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender, about 45 minutes.

TURKEY STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
Green peppers topped with melted cheddar cheese You can substitute low fat mozzarella cheese for cheddar. If you don't have pre-made bread crumbs use 3 pieces of wet de-crusted low carb bread, pulled apart and thoroughly mixed in the turkey. Using wet bread will create a juicier pepper so be careful when you cut into it.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin. Avoid peppers with bruises or blemishes.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Cook the stuffing thoroughly: The stuffing should be cooked through before you stuff the peppers. You can cook the stuffing in a skillet over medium heat or in a baking dish in the oven.
- Stuff the peppers tightly: Press the stuffing firmly into the peppers, making sure that there are no air pockets. This will help to prevent the peppers from bursting while they are cooking.
- Bake the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be baked for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender. You can check the peppers for doneness by inserting a knife into the center. If the knife goes in easily, the peppers are done.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish the peppers with parsley or grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
