2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, diced tomato, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a flavorful stuffing mixture.

3. Stuff the Peppers: Take the prepared bell peppers and generously fill each one with the turkey mixture, ensuring they are evenly stuffed to the top.

4. Cooking: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a stockpot or deep baking dish. Add enough water to the pot to partially submerge the peppers, but not completely cover them.

5. Simmer: Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the peppers simmer for about 1 hour, or until they are tender and the filling is fully cooked through.

6. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the pot using a slotted spoon, and transfer them to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side for a creamy contrast, and mashed potatoes as a traditional accompaniment.
