Stuffed Peppers w/Turkey

I made a healthy meal (no carbs) but oh so good! I had two of these, hubby had 3 and kids had the turkey with some hash browns. **sigh** To be a kid again eating carbs all day every day lol. Anyway the recipe was easy and I talked about a few ways you can make it even easier on Instagram! Here is the recipe if you want to have it on hand:

Ingredients:

  • 6 poblano peppers, seeded and halved or green bell peppers if you’re scared of a little heat (sometimes a poblano seed makes it through and it can be HOT)

  • 2 handful of cherry tomatoes, halved or a can of diced tomatoes 🍅

  • 2 lbs ground turkey

  • 1/2 tblsp of chicken bouillon powder

  • 1/2 tblsp of paprika

  • 1/2 tblsp of taco or even chili seasoning or grill Mates herb and roasted garlic

  • 2 shallots or 1/4 onion 🧅 minced

  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons for sautéed turkey and some for poblano peppers).
    Feta cheese for topping :) You’ll also need Tzaziki sauce either store bought or make simple cucumber yogurt recipe (1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 mini cucumbers, juice of 1 lime, salt 🧂 pepper and 1 tsp of honey)

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 400. Lien a cookie sheet with foil. Spray with PAM or drizzle 2 tblsp olive oil on the baking sheet. Place the halved poblano peppers on the sheet and spray them with PAM or drizzle olive oil (if drizzling, swirl them around to lightly coat them with your hands). **Please note the seeds in these guys can be spicy 🌶 so I wear gloves when working with them. Also if you’re deathly scared of heat, use green bell peppers :)
    Place the peppers in the oven for 7 minutes.
    While the peppers are roasting, heat (high heat) up 2 tblsp of olive oil in a relatively deep & wide skillet. Add the shallots or onion. Use a flat edged spatula (this will help you easily break up the meat) to stir them around for 1 minute. Add the turkey. Break it up a bit. Add the spices and tomatoes and start breaking up the turkey as much as you can while also giving it some time to brown (7-9 minutes). Let cool for 5 minutes. Pull the poblano peppers out and set aside.
