Southwest Stuffed Peppers

My mom used to make delicious stuffed peppers growing up. I decided to use the basis of her recipe but take out the traditional rice and Velveeta and add a few healthier options. Enjoy!

 

Ingredients:

 

3-4 Bell Peppers

1 lb ground turkey

1 avocado, diced

1 can diced tomatoes, cilantro flavor

1 small can tomato sauce

1/2 can of black beans, drained and rinsed (omit for paleo)

1/2 cup of cheddar cheese (omit for paleo)

1 clove of chopped garlic

2 tbsp of chili powder

2 tsp of paprika

1 tsp of cayenne

Dash of Tabasco

Salt and pepper to taste

 



 First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then boil your green peppers for about 5 minutes. While your peppers are boiling, cook your ground turkey.

Add the remainder of the ingredients, including beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, garlic and all spices, Wait until the last minute to add the avocado and cheese.

Let simmer for 5 minutes, and then stuff your peppers. Place in a glass baking dish and cook for 20 minutes.
