Turkey and Bean Stuffed Red Bell Peppers


  • 1/2 of a 20 oz. package extra lean ground turkey
  • 1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 - 15 oz. can pinquito beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 - 14.5 oz. petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 - 4 oz. can diced green chilies
  • 1 tbsp. chopped garlic
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. spicy taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 3 large red bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large skillet, brown turkey, seasoning it with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  When turkey is starting to brown, add taco seasoning, cumin, onion and garlic.  When turkey is cooked through add beans, tomatoes, and green chilies.  Mix well.

Place peppers cut side up in a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.  Pour the broth in to cover the bottom of the dish.  Fill each pepper cup evenly with the turkey mixture.  They will be filled full, almost overflowing!  Cover the dish tight with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Serve using a slotted spoon, leaving broth in the pan.

Enjoy!!!
