Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 large onions, sliced
1 ½ teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 ½ cups light coconut milk
1 cup water
1 cup jasmine rice
1 cup pineapple tidbits
6 large red bell peppers - halved, seeded, and stemmed
6 slices Monterey Jack cheese, halved
6 slices pepper jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and coconut oil in a skillet over low heat; cook and stir onions in the hot oil until tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove caramelized onions from pan.
  • Increase heat under skillet to medium-high heat. Sprinkle Chinese five-spice powder over turkey. Cook and stir turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix coconut milk, water, rice, caramelized onions, and pineapple into the ground turkey. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook red bell pepper halves in the boiling water until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Arrange red bell pepper halves in the prepared casserole dish; spoon turkey mixture into each half. Top each stuffed pepper with a slice of pepper jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 20 minutes.
