Prepare Peppers

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Halve the bell peppers lengthwise through the stems, remove the seeds and membranes, and arrange cut side up in a baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes to soften slightly.

Make Filling

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion for 3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add the ground turkey, fennel seeds, salt and black pepper. Break the meat up and cook for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
