Directions:

Yield: 4-5 stuffed peppers
Ingredients
-5 bell peppers, tops and insides removed
Pound lean ground turkey
Jalapeno, seeds/ribs removed and diced
Ounce jar salsa (we used Rick Bayless’ Frontera medium chunky salsa)
Cup shredded cheddar cheese
Can black beans, rinsed and drained
Envelope taco seasoning
Big handful baby spinach, rinsed
Greek yogurt, to garnish peppers
Cilantro, roughly chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wash the peppers then carefully slice the tops off. To remove the insides, cut around the edges of the pepper then pull the center out with your hand. Try to get all the seeds out too. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey over medium high heat for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until it’s cooked through. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon while it cooks. Add the taco seasoning, black beans (make sure they’re drained and rinsed), jalapeno and baby spinach. Stir to combine. Cook until the spinach just starts to wilt, another minute or so. Remove pan from heat and mix in the salsa. Start with about 3/4 of the jar then add the rest if you want it juicier. We used the whole jar.
Spoon the meat mixture into the hollowed out peppers. Fill the peppers almost to the top, leaving just enough room for the cheese. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top of each pepper. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 30 to 45 minutes. The cheese should be melted and the pepper should soften. You can tent the baking dish with aluminum foil if the cheese is starting to brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
