In a separate pan, add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Add 1 pound of ground turkey and 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook until browned.

Season the meat with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt.

In another pot, bring water to a boil to blanch the bell peppers for 4-5 minutes.

Cut the tops off 6 bell peppers and remove the seeds.

Blanch the green peppers in boiling water for 4-5 minutes, then remove and let cool.

In the pan with the cooked meat, add 2 cans of stewed tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, mixing well.

Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ketchup to the meat mixture and stir.

Mix the cooked rice into the meat mixture until well combined.

Stuff the mixture into the hollowed bell peppers, packing it in tightly.

Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and top the peppers with additional shredded cheese, then bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
