As you will already know, C has started the Mediterranean diet. This has meant not only coming up with new meal ideas that she will like, but also finding recipes that are easy for her to make for herself. This has meant I have been looking at recipes and coming up with new meal ideas. One of her new favourites is easy turkey stuffed peppers.
As I know a lot of you like the Mediterranean diet, or are looking for new meal ideas. I will be sharing our latest recipes we have been trying. Plus also using an air fryer and our little cheats to make it even easier to make.
I found the recipe for the stuffed peppers on BBC Good Food site. It was quick and easy to make and C loved it.

Ingredients For The Stuffing
Lean Turkey mince
Half a chopped onion – I use frozen chopped onion
1 clove of garlic grated – I use very lazy garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
400g can of chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 chicken stock cube
150g green vegetables – we used frozen spinach
Olive oil
Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan and fry the mince for 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring to break up the chunks. When cooked empty onto a plate
Step 2
Wipe the pan clean add more olive oil. Add the onion and garlic stirring for a few minutes and then add the cumin. Add the mince back to the pan and mix the onion and garlic through.
Next add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree and crumble the stock cube. Cook through for 3-4 minutes then add in the frozen spinach and seasoning.
Step 3
Prepare the peppers by cutting in half and de-seeding.
Put a liner in the air fryer and rest the peppers in and spoon in the turkey mixture and add some grate cheese on top.
I cooked for about 10-15 minutes on 200.
The rest of the turkey mixture I let cool and froze for use another day.
We are loving finding new recipes, and C is expanding her diet and eating a much more varied diet than she used to eat. The great thing with finding recipes online is that you can adapt them to add things you like or just leave out what you do not like. A lot of people stuff peppers with savoury rice, they are so versatile. What do you stuff your peppers with?
If you have any easy recipes to share, we would love to try them. You can find all my other easy recipes here. Remember to keep checking back as will be adding more.
Do love a stiffed pepper 🌶 – haven’t had for ages – will have a go
This has reminded me that we haven’t for a while either
Oo these sound delicious and a great new way to eat peppers! The recipe seems pretty simple too so will have to give them a try, thanks for sharing!
It is a very easy recipe, I have been trying new recipe that C can make
I absolutely love stuffed peppers, but I never thought of putting turkey in them. I would love to try this out for myself and my family for dinner one of these nights.
I had never thought of this either, but it is so quick and easy and C loves it
Those look so delicious, I’d love to try and make these with my family. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you enjoy them
Such a delicious quick and easy recipe as a weekday meal! I can’t wait to make this for myself
It is quick and easy to make, I hope you enjoy them C loves this meal
I haven’t made stuffed peppers in ages. Your recipe sounds delicious and easy to make.
I am all for quick and easy recipies
I haven’t made stuffed peppers in such a long time. I think they’re really good though.
I do love them I had a recipe for chilli stuffed peppers that I love as well
I loved stuffed peppers! I haven’t tried them with turkey and spinach though. This sounds delicious! I’ll have to give this recipe a try!
I hope you enjoy the recipe
I love stuffed peppers. Admittedly I haven’t made them in so long and now I’m craving them esp during these early Fall days…such a wonderful meal.
They are an easy meal, and that bit of comfort eating we all need and want
We don’t tend to eat a lot of turkey at home, but I’m not sure why as it’s good and lean. These sound really tasty x
I am the same regarding turkey, I am yet to convince my husband but C loves it
This looks delicious I must give it a try I think all the family would enjoy it
It is such a quick and easy recipe to make, I hope they enjoy it
Now stop this, I am salivating here, these stuffed peppers look lush. Can’t wait to try as I have not had stuffed peppers in quite a while xx
I am sorry, I always get hungry looking at recipes as well I hope you enjoy them
I love stuffed peppers. I stuff mine with vegetable couscous and sometimes I add some mince meat in there, or like you I top it with cheese. You can even break an egg on top of your pepper before baking it to have a lovely baked egg on top.
I love couscous, C has always stayed away from it, but does want to try it now. Will try couscous next time
This sounds delicious. I like the idea of stuffed peppers for both taste and presentation.
They do look great annd colourful
This looks sooooo good!!!! I love peppers but I never had stuffed peppers….The recipe is easy to follow, thank you so much….
You are welcome,they are so quick and easy as well even easier if you have frozen the filling down previously
I love stuffed peppers because they’re so healthy. Making them with turkey is a great way to really lean into that healthy aspect.
I have just started using turkey mince more for C, and it is a much healthier option
I like the sound of these! I don’t currently have an air frier, but hopefully will soon!
It took me ages to get one, and love mine now, you can do this and cook in the oven
These sound good. We usually stuff peppers with Bolognese mix or rice but this is something different. x
It is too tomato based for me, I have never liked them since being forced to eat them when at school, but so glad C is not like that as they make a great base for a lot of dishes
You can always try roasted butternut squash instead of tomatoes. Just mash it up a bit to create a more puree texture and that will help bind the other ingredients
I hadn’t thought of that and not had butterenut squash in a long time thank you for the idea
