Ingredients:
- 1½ tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp table salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 12 oz uncooked 99% fat-free ground turkey breast
- ½ cup water
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1½ tsp unpacked light brown sugar
- 21 sweet mini baby bell peppers, halved and seeded
- 1¼ cup 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 small Jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced (optional)
- 8 olives, large canned ripe black olives, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup light sour cream
- 4 tbsp cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
- To make turkey seasoning, in a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and cayenne (or swap in taco seasoning); set aside.
- Place turkey in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook, breaking apart meat with back of spoon, until no longer pink, 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle turkey with seasoning mixture and stir in water; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is absorbed, 5-10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and sugar; simmer 2-3 minutes more.
- Arrange pepper halves, cut-side up, in a single layer on prepared pan.
- Evenly divide turkey mixture among peppers and sprinkle with cheese; top with jalapeno slices, if using.
- Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven; top with olives, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
