1
Preheat the oven to 375.
2
Core the peppers, slice in half lengthwise to form 4 “boats,” and transfer to a 9-inch square baking dish.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the onion and celery are soft and translucent.
4
Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and stir in the oregano. Cool for 10 minutes.
5
Stir the beaten egg, salt, and pepper into the cooled vegetables, and add the ground turkey and provolone. Mix gently with your hands until well incorporated.
6
Fill each of the pepper boats with 1/4 of the ground turkey mixture. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the turkey is browned.
