Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a small baking dish non-stick cooking spray, set aside.

Prepare Jack-O-Lanterns: Take bell peppers, one at a time. Lay flat on its side on a cutting board and cut off the top of the pepper as thin as you can (do not discard). Use a small paring knife to scrape/cut out the seeds and membranes from the inside of the pepper. Then use the same paring knife to carefully cut a jack-o-lantern face into the front of the pepper, just like you would on a pumpkin. Repeat with all peppers and set in the prepared baking dish.

Bake: Bake the bell peppers (with tops) for approximately 15-20 minutes or until your desired softness.

Cook Filling: Meanwhile, take a large cast iron skillet and bring to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add 2 teaspoons garlic and let cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and cook until it reduces, about 2-3 minutes. Add ground turkey to brown in the hot pan. Break apart and allow to cook, about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked. Add taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and diced tomatoes; stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired.

Stuff Peppers + Cheese: Scoop taco mixture into each pepper. Add about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top of each one. Return to the oven to bake until cheese is melted.

Serve: Enjoy immediately with your desired toppings.
