SHAWARMA STUFFED PEPPERS
These stuffed peppers are inspired by the flavors of one of my all-time favorite street foods, shawarma. Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of seasoned meat cooked on a spit and then shaved thin. The spice combination typically found in shawarma is savory, warm and totally addictive!

Steps:
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the Shawarma Seasoning and cook for another minute. Add the ground turkey and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Brown the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. When it's all cooked through and no longer pink, reduce the heat to low.
- If you're using cauliflower rice, microwave it (covered in a bowl or in the bag it came in if the package says that it's okay) for 3 minutes. Add the basmati rice or cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir in the tomatoes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- Cut off the tops of the bell peppers, core them and place them in a casserole dish. Fill the peppers with the turkey mixture and then bake for 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the tahini sauce. Stir together the tahini, 3 tablespoons cold water
- water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. When the peppers are done, squeeze them with additional lemon juice, top with a nice big blob of tahini sauce and a pile of fresh herbs. Enjoy!
- Combine the garam masala, curry powder, powdered chicken bouillon and turmeric in a small bowl and whisk together. Store in an airtight container.
