Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
  2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray with oil. Add onion, cilantro and garlic and saute about 2 minutes, until soft. Add ground turkey, salt, garlic powder, cumin and cook meat for 4 to 5 minutes until meat is completely cooked through breaking it up with a spoon. Add the tomato paste and water, mix well and simmer on medium for about 2 to 3 minutes, remove from heat.
  3. Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, cheddar and scallions in a medium bowl. Using a small spoon or a spatula, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling into the peppers.
  4. Arrange in a single layer, cut-side up close together. Bake until soft, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. Top with meat and cheese and bake until melted, about 3 minutes more.
  6. Remove from oven and top with pico de gallo, olives and drizzle with sour cream. Garnish with cilantro and scallions and serve immediately.
