I loved stuffed bell peppers! I haven’t made them in ages though. What’s in yours?

Recipe is my own but baking times were adapted from someone else’s recipe! This makes 5 stuffed peppers.
Bell Peppers:
5 Bell peppers, similar size
1lb ground turkey
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
3/4 cup marinara
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup cooked white rice
1 cup mozzarella cheese
–
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil (enough to cover the peppers.)
Scoop out inside the peppers. Cut off the tops and chop up the edible parts of the top for later. Boil the peppers (not the chopped tops) for 5 minutes.
Set boiled peppers in lightly greased baking dish.
Add onion and chopped pepper tops to a greased pan on medium heat.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add meat and cook 5-6 minutes. Add marinara, seasonings, and rice. Stir and remove from heat. Stir in half of the cheese into the mixture until incorporated.
