Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  6. Stir in cauliflower rice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and mix in half of the mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese.
  8. Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into the bell peppers and top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  9. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is melted.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
