When I'm feeling rushed or a bit on the lazy side, I will use leftover taco meat in the pepper shells. Add some salsa to the meat, put in the boat's, top with the cheese, heat and eat. Mmmm, either way it's very good.
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup salsa
1 cup grated cheddar jack cheese
3 bell peppers (red and yellow are sweeter)
Directions
Remove seeds, core, and membrane from bell peppers then slice each one into 6 vertical pieces where they dip down. Set sliced bell peppers aside.
Cook ground turkey over medium-high heat, breaking up as it cooks. Cook until the turkey loses its pink color and is cooked through. Drain off any fat.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine cooked turkey with spices and salsa. Evenly distribute mixture into the bell pepper boats, top with cheese. Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and peppers are hot.
Remove from the oven and add additional toppings, If desired, such as sour cream, scallions, or extra cheese. :)
