By á-10863

This is a great main dish that cuts out dairy and substitutes soy cheese. The pepper is stuffed with ground turkey, onion, tomato, peppers, and garlic.

Ingredients

• 5 medium green peppers
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 1/4 pounds extra-lean ground turkey
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (7-ounce) package cheddar-flavored soy cheese, shredded
• 2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Cut peppers in half lengthwise and discard seeds. In a large kettle, cook peppers in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.

In a large skillet, sauté onion in oil until tender. Add the turkey, cumin, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.

Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the soy cheese, tomatoes and bread crumbs. Spoon into pepper halves. Place in a 15-inch x 10-inch x 1-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with paprika.

Bake, uncovered, at 325°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and peppers are tender.
