Ingredients
  • 1.5 Pounds of Ground Turkey Breast
  • 2.5 Teaspoons of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
  • 1 cup Canned Kidney Beans or Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup of 0 Point Salsa
  • 4 Large Green, Red or Yellow Peppers
  • 1 Large Tomato, chopped
  • 1 Onion, diced small
  • Vegetable Cooking Spray
  • Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
  1. Spray a large frying pan with vegetable cooking spray. Turn heat to medium high. When hot, brown turkey breast until cooked. Add taco seasoning, beans, diced onion and salsa. Simmer for about 5 minutes so flavor blends.
  2. Cut peppers in half lengthwise or leave whole, remove stems and seeds. In a large stockpot, cook peppers in boiling water for about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse them in a colander and run cold water over them.
  3. Spoon meat and bean mixture into each pepper half evenly.
  4. Place in a 13 x 9 baking dish that has been sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until peppers appear to be crispy and tender.
  5. Add some of the chopped tomato to top of each pepper half.
  6. To keep at 0 Points, you can add up to ¼ cup of Kraft Fat Free Cheese (per pepper), up to 1½ tablespoons of fat free sour cream (per pepper) and all the 0 Point Salsa you would like. Enjoy!
