Southwestern Stuffed Bell Peppers with a peach mango salsa

INGREDIENTS :

• Olive Oil ( I used Tahitian lime olive oil)
• 1/2 lb lean ground turkey breast
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1 heaping tbsp of homemade taco seasoning (or you can use the packaged type if you like id don't if you make homemade you can make your seasoning to fit your taste buds i like might extra spicy)
• 1/4 a cup of broccoli sprouts
• 2 cups of cooked rice (any type you like – I prefer brown)
• 3-4 organic bell peppers, halved vertically and seeds removed
• 1 can of black beans, drained & rinsed
• ½ cup of organic frozen corn
• 1 (15 -16 ounce) jar of salsa (my favorite is mango peach)
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Toppings:

• fresh cilantro
• sour cream
• sliced avocado
• Broccoli sprouts

1.Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat the peppers with olive oil and roast in a baking dish about 20-25 minutes just until cooked thru. Remove the peppers from the oven and allow to cool until you can handle them.

2.In a bowl add the taco seasoning, cooked ground turkey, chopped onions, broccoli sprouts, black beans, corn and rice. Add in the jar of salsa and mix well.

3.Carefully spoon the turkey mixture into each half of the bell peppers and place back into the baking dish. Cook the peppers for another 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are cooked all the way thru. Before removing from the oven sprinkle the tops of each pepper with shredded cheddar cheese. Place back into the oven just until the cheese has melted

4.Remove from the oven and top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, broccoli sprouts and/or sour cream just before serving.
