A yummy dinner option tonight are the air fryer stuffed peppers with ground turkey! So easy to make with super simple ingredients!

Have you ever made stuffed peppers?

They can be so yummy and delicious, especially if you are trying to stay away from eating too many carbs. Well these peppers are stuffed with ground turkey instead of rice and they’re cooked in the air fryer!

Okay I need to back this dish up a little because I’m sure you guys are wondering how on Earth these roasted stuffed peppers got cooked in an air fryer. Let me tell you, it works great! Now this isn’t my first time stuffing peppers and roasting them in my oven but I figured and air fryer is a great option too!

You really can stuff anything in the air fryer!

So let’s discuss this recipe for a minute. We’ve already established that you can use your favorite rice recipe to stuff these peppers but I decided to go with ground turkey because it was easier and faster too cook; using shredded chicken would work great too (which is what I typically do).

And since they’re cooked in the air fryer, they take about 35-40 minutes to roast which is much quicker than an hour in an oven . It should be noted though, that if you are cooking them both together, you’ll need to adjust the times accordingly!

These Stuffed Peppers With Ground Turkey turned out great and were so flavorful. If you wanted to serve these as appetizers or a main dish it is up to you!

I loved how they turned out so if you love stuffed peppers, give these a try!
