Ingredients:
- 4 red capsicums
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 110g yellow onions, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- pinch of salt
- 450g turkey mince
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 200g crushed tomatoes
- 75g baby spinach
- 200g fresh mozzarella cheese preferably buffalo, sliced
- Olive oil, for greasing
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200. Grease a baking dish, that will fit the number of capsicums being prepared, with olive oil.
- Cut off the tops of the capsicum and discard the stems, membranes, and seeds. Place the capsicum in the baking dish, cut side up. If they are tipping, make a very thin slice across the bottom of the capsicum to level.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, over medium heat. Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes or until soft, and then add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir together for another minute.
- Add the turkey, salt, black pepper, and basil to the pan, stirring together for about 7-10 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and mix in the crushed tomatoes and spinach. Cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, and then remove from heat.
- Stuff the capsicum with the turkey mix, leaving about ½ cm space at the top to place the mozzarella cheese. Bake on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
