Southwest Turkey and Black Bean Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Grab the following ingredients to whip up these tasty stuffed peppers:

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color you like)
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (brown or white)
  • 1 cup salsa (your favorite kind)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions to Make it Happen:

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Next, cut the tops off your bell peppers and remove the seeds. Place them cut side up in a baking dish.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until it’s browned and crumbled. Season it with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Once the turkey is cooked, stir in the black beans, corn, cooked rice, and salsa. Let it simmer for a few minutes to blend those flavors.
  5. Now, carefully spoon the turkey and bean mixture into each bell pepper, packing them tightly.
  6. If you’re down for some cheesy goodness, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Once done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if you like, and dive in!
