Ingredients

  • 4 whole Bell Peppers, Tops And Insides Removed
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Turkey
  • 1 envelope (1 Oz. Packet) Taco Seasoning
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained
  • 1 whole Jalapeno, Seeds And Ribs Removed, And Diced
  • 1 Big Handful Baby Spinach, Rinsed
  • 16 ounces, weight Jar Salsa (we Used Rick Bayless Frontera Medium Chunky Salsa)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Greek Yogurt, For Garnish
  • Cilantro, Roughly Chopped, For Garnish

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wash the peppers then carefully slice the tops off.
  • To remove the insides, cut around the edges of the pepper then pull the center out with your hand.
  • Try to get all the seeds out, too.
  • Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey over medium high heat for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Break up the meat with a wooden spoon while it cooks.
  • Add the taco seasoning, black beans (make sure theyre drained and rinsed), jalapeno and baby spinach.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Cook until the spinach just starts to wilt, another minute or so.
  • Remove pan from heat and mix in the salsa.
  • Start with about 3/4 of the jar then add the rest if you want it juicier.
  • We used the whole jar.
  • Spoon the meat mixture into the hollowed out peppers.
  • Fill the peppers almost to the top, leaving just enough room for the cheese.
  • Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top of each pepper.
  • Place in the preheated oven and cook for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • The cheese should be melted and the pepper should soften.
  • You can tent the baking dish with aluminum foil if the cheese is starting to brown.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
