STUFFED
PEPPERS
A CRAZY 150 CALORIES PER HALF !
Serves 3-4, I doubled
it, mainly because most ground turkey comes in a 1 lb.
package at least!
Trust me, they will get eaten!!
Olive
Oil
1/2 lb lean ground turkey breast
1 cup chopped onions
1 heaping tbsp of taco seasoning
2 cups of cooked rice
3-4 bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
1 can of black beans, drained & rinsed
½ cup of organic frozen corn
1 (15 -16 ounce) jar of salsa
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Toppings:
fresh cilantro
sour cream
sliced avocado
Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat the peppers with olive oil and roast in a baking dish about 20-25 minutes just until cooked thru. Remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool until you can handle them.
*****Note – make sure you brown the turkey ahead of time, that way you do not have to worry about it later. Also, sautee the onions until cooked thru, then add in the cooked rice, black beans and corn.
In a bowl add the taco seasoning, cooked ground turkey, chopped onions, black beans, corn and rice. Add in the jar of salsa and mix well.
Carefully spoon the turkey mixture into each half of the bell peppers and place back into the baking dish. Cook the peppers for another 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are cooked all the way thru. Before removing from the oven sprinkle the tops of each pepper with shredded cheddar cheese. Place back into the oven just until the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices and/or sour cream just before serving.
