Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers

I posted a picture on Instagram last night of my dinner and had a couple people ask for the recipe, so here it is! While I can't take credit for this healthy deliciousness, I thought it was worth sharing!  I found this recipe on Pinterest from the Skinnytaste blog.  Just an FYI, this is not a super quick dinner to throw together, so make sure you have about an hour and a half to spend in the kitchen! 

 

Ingredients:

 

1/2 lb 99% lean ground turkey

3/4 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained

3/4 cups frozen corn

1 jalapeno pepper, chopped

1 large diced tomato

1 cloves garlic, minced

3 tbsp chopped onion

2 tbsp chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish

1 tsp cumin

Salt to taste

3 red bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise

1/3 cup reduced sodium, fat free chicken broth

9 tbsp shredded reduced-fat Sargento Monterey Jack cheese

 

Directions:

 

Brown the ground turkey in a skillet and add salt to taste.  After the turkey is browned, add:  jalapeno, tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, cumin, and black beans.  Mix well, cover and simmer on low for about 20 min.  Remove lid and add corn.  Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes. 

 

Preheat oven to 350*

 

Cut bell peppers in half and place in baking dish.  Fill dish with 1/3 cup chicken broth and fill bell peppers with the ground turkey mixture.  Cover with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes.  Remove the foil and add cheese to each of the bell peppers.  Bake uncovered for another 5 minutes. 

 

Enjoy!
