Servings: persons

6 green peppers, tops and seeds removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 white onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (15.5 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon crushed fennel seeds
1 cup water
1/3 cup white rice
1/4 cup sweet barbeque sauce
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the bell peppers in a casserole dish with the cavities facing upwards.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender, about 45 minutes.
