Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cut off the tops of the peppers and carefully remove the seeds and large membranes. Slive a thin strip off the bottom of each bell pepper so it can stand upright. Place the peppers in a steamer rack over boiling water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a baking pan.
-
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Saute the turkey and scallions for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Add the garlic, cinnamon, cloves and red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring to combine. Add the rice, currants, olives, and almonds and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Spoon the turkey mixture into the peppers. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.
