  3. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  4. Add the turkey mince and cook for 6-8 minutes until all the pink is gone, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, some salt and pepper, the chilli flakes, oregano and basil. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Fold about 80g of the cheese into the turkey mixture. Stuff the peppers with the filling and top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
