Let the turkey cool just slightly and add the rice, tomatoes, sage, thyme and half of the cheese. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Rub the red peppers with the remaining oil inside and out and season the outside of the pepper with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Divide the filling among the peppers. Press and pack the mixture into the the peppers so that all of the filling is used and comes just over the top of the peppers. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and top with the almonds. Bake uncovered in an 8x8 casserole dish until the pepper has softened but still holds it’s shape and the center is hot and the cheese is golden brown about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
