Ingredients

  • 3 red peppers *made about 3 cups of chopped roasted red peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves diced
  • 1 lb ground turkey weighed raw
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella
  • Dried parsley

Instructions

  • Start with making the roasted peppers. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put the oven on high broil. Cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds, place the cut halves on the baking sheet, and lightly spray them with some cooking spray. Bake them in the oven for 7-9 minutes under the broil or until the skin seems bubbly and roasted.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately place them in a large glass bowl, then cover it with Saran wrap. Let sit for at least 30 minutes or longer.
  • Add some cooking spray to a large skillet and cook the diced garlic over medium heat for a few minutes (do not let it burn!) Then add in the ground turkey, cumin, chili powder salt, and pepper. Mix well. While the turkey is cooking you can peel and cut the red peppers.
  • Add in the diced onion and peppers while mixing well. Let it cook for 10 minutes or until the onions are soft.
  • Top with shredded mozzarella and dried parsley. Serve once the cheese has melted. Enjoy!
