Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat
  3. Sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes or until tender
  4. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned
  5. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and hot water then stir well to fully combine
  6. Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid is gone
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted
  8. Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray
  9. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the mixture into each of the peppers
  10. Place peppers on their sides evenly across the baking sheet and roast for 25-30

*If you don't need all 8 peppers, go ahead and make all of the filling. It will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days, and would also be delicious wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla.
