Ingredients

Bell Peppers:

4 bell peppers

Olive Oil Mixture:

1¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Turkey Filling:

1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
1½ teaspoons garlic powder
1½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup chunky salsa
15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen riced cauliflower
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, diced red onion.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare bell peppers by cutting them in half lengthwise, removing ribs and seeds. Place peppers cut side up on a greased baking dish, season with ¼ teaspoon salt, and set aside.
  2. Cook Turkey Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and ground turkey, season with remaining salt and spices. Cook until turkey is cooked through and onions are tender, about 7 minutes.
  3. Add Ingredients: Stir in salsa, black beans, corn, and riced cauliflower. Cook until veggies release moisture, about 5-6 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Fill Peppers: Spoon turkey mixture into pepper halves, top with cheese, and bake for 20-22 minutes until peppers are tender and filling is cooked.
  5. Serve: Top with favorite taco toppings and enjoy warm. Store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days.
