1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
21 mini rainbow peppers, halved and seeded (about 13 oz seeded)
1 cup sharp shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp light sour cream, thinned with 1 tbsp water
1 jalapeno, sliced thin (optional)
chopped cilantro, optional
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking trmay with parchment or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with oil.
Spray oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and cilantro and saute about 2 minutes, add ground turkey, salt, garlic powder, cumin and cook meat for 4 to 5 minutes until meat is completely cooked through. Add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and chicken broth, mix well and simmer on medium for about 5 minutes, remove from heat.
Meanwhile, arrange mini peppers in a single layer, cut-side up close together. Fill each with cooked ground turkey mixture, then top with shredded cheese and jalapeno slices.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
