Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and brown the turkey mince for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside leaving the turkey juices in the pan.
Add the onion, garlic and green pepper and sauté in the turkey juices together until soft, about 5 minutes.

Lightly grease a suitably sized casserole dish and carefully spoon all the cooked ingredients into the dish. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Cook in centre of oven for about 25 - 30 minutes until cheese is bubbling. Serve.

Notes

All ovens vary with cooking time so you might need to cook your casserole for a little longer than stated if your rice isn't soft enough for your liking.
