Stuffed Bell Peppers, Southwestern Style

I'm a little behind, but made these stuffed bell peppers last week. The mixture was really good though I probably wouldn't stuff them in the peppers next time. I would cut up the peppers and mix them in with everything else and make lettuce wraps or burritos.

Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:

* Olive oil

* 3/4 lb lean ground turkey

* 1 small onion, chopped

* 1 tbsp taco seasoning (add more if desired)

* 10 oz cooked rice

* 3-4 bell peppers, halved and seeds removed

* 15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed

* 1/2 cup corn

* 4 oz can green chiles

* 1 15 oz jar of your favorite salsa

Toppings:

* Shredded cheese

* Avocado slices

* Fresh cilantro

* Sour cream

Directions:

~ Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat peppers in oil and roast about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile cook turkey and saute onions.

~ Remove peppers and set aside. In a large bowl, add taco seasoning, cooked turkey, sauteed onions, beans, corn, chiles, and cooked rice. Add salsa and mix well.

~ Spoon mixture into peppers and put back in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove, sprinkle cheese, and put pack in until just melted.

~ Top with your favorite topping.

Note:

~ I had way more mixture than would fit in the pepper shells. I used the extra to make burritos the next day. It was also fine by itself! Click here for the original recipe. Mine were not as pretty as the original.
