Add diced tomatoes (including juice), a glass of water, salt, hot pepper and ground ginger. Bring to a boil and add the reserved handful of chopped cilantro.
Prepare peppers:
- Remove the "head" from each pepper and set aside. Fill the peppers ¾ of the way with the meat mixture (leave some space below the rim).
- Arrange the peppers in a pot and pour about two tablespoons of the sauce into each pepper. Cover the peppers with the "heads" we set aside. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.

Notes
- To make low carb or keto ground turkey stuffed peppers with no rice, simply omit the rice. Follow the rest of the cooking process exactly - you don't even need to adjust quantities.
- You can also substitute the rice for cauliflower rice in these ground turkey stuffed peppers.
- To make Vegetarian stuffed peppers, switch the ground turkey for veggie ground round or textured vegetable protein that's been soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and then squeezed out. You can also switch it for 1 cup uncooked lentils. Cook the lentils separately before proceeding with the recipe.
