Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground Turkey Breast
- 2.5 Tsp Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
- 1 Can Red Kidney Beans- Rinsed and Drained
- 1 Cup 0 Point Salsa (I use Ortega Thick & Chunky)
- 2 Bags Frozen Riced Cauliflower
- 4 Large Bell Peppers
- 1 Small Onion, Diced
- Vegetable Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Spray a large frying pan with vegetable cooking spray. Turn on 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. You can add additional seasoning in that you like as well.
- Cut peppers in half lengthwise, 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.
- Spoon meat and bean mixture along with some of the cooked riced cauliflower into each pepper half evenly. 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.
- To keep at 0 Points, you can add up to ¼ cup of Kraft Fat Free Cheddar Cheese (per pepper). You can add as much Fat Free Greek Plain Yogurt in place of sour cream too. Also, you can add all the 0 Point Salsa you would like. The pepper halves are 1 serving. So to keep it at 0 Points per 2 pepper halves serving, divide cheese to ⅛ cup on each pepper. Enjoy!
