Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the bell pepper halves in a small baking dish, cut-side up.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, combine the raw ground turkey, the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, tomato paste, dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Divide the turkey mixture evenly between the the pepper halves, pressing it down firmly. Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to provide steam. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking until the peppers are easily pierced with a knife tip and the turkey is done. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Done when internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F.
