Ingredients

2 red bell peppers
4 slices cooked turkey breast
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
4 teaspoons pesto
1 small head broccoli, separated into florets
1 ½ cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Halve peppers lengthwise and remove stem, pulp, and seeds; place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Lay 1 slice turkey inside each pepper. Sprinkle chopped onion evenly over turkey. Drizzle 1 teaspoon pesto inside each pepper half. Place a few florets of broccoli into each pepper; cover with shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are heated through and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle each pepper with 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese.
