This recipe is a fail. The peppers were undercooked and the filling was bland.

Not a fan of the Italian seasoning in this recipe. I think it would be better with just salt and pepper.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and tasted great. I made a few changes to the recipe, such as using brown rice instead of white rice and adding some chopped spinach to the filling. They turned out delicious!

Meh. Not a fan. The turkey was dry and the peppers were soggy.

Not bad. A bit dry, though. I think next time I'll add a can of diced tomatoes to the filling.

This was okay. Dish was quite bland. May need to add more spices and sauce.

Easy peasy and delicious! Turkey and veggies made a delish stuffing and the addition of Italian seasoning gave it an extra kick. 5 stars!

My family loved this colorful Italian-style dish. Peppers were crisp-tender and the filling was savory and moist. We'll definitely be making this again!
