Healthy Soy Recipe
Ingredients:
5 medium green peppers
1 large onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
1-1/4 pound extra lean ground turkey
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 package (7 ounces) shredded cheddar-flavored soy cheese
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Cut peppers in half lengthwise and discard seeds. In a large kettle, cook peppers in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add turkey, cumin, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.
Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the soy cheese, tomatoes and bread crumbs. Spoon into pepper halves. Place in a 15-inch x 10-inch x 1-inch baking pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and peppers are tender.
