Delicious Shawarma-Stuffed Peppers for Quick Dinners
By Editor • August 18, 2026 • 1 min read
Stuffed peppers are a go-to for quick dinners, and this shawarma twist elevates them to a new level. Instead of traditional meats, ground turkey takes center stage, infused with a medley of spices including cumin, coriander, and a hint of cayenne for heat.
The filling also features fresh garlic, scallions, parsley, and mint, combined with uncooked couscous that cooks as the peppers bake, ensuring a moist and flavorful experience. To start, the peppers are lightly baked for 12 minutes before being filled.
After 35 minutes in the oven, the peppers emerge tender and juicy, topped with vibrant ingredients reminiscent of chicken shawarma sandwiches: diced tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of halal cart-style sauce. For those looking to prep ahead, both the peppers and filling can be stored separately in the fridge, making dinner a breeze.
