In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until grouund turkey is brown; drain any liquid. Stir in the spices. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.

On a baking sheet, line the sweet peppers. Fill each pepper with ground turkey mixture; place on a baking sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes.

Remove peppers from oven, and top with cheese.
