Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

02

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion, diced fresh jalapeño, and garlic; cook and stir until turkey browns and vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain grease from the skillet. Add cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, chili paste, salt, and black pepper; stir until combined. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes.

03

Step

Place bell pepper halves in the prepared baking dish. Place 1 Colby-Jack cheese cube in each pepper half; fill with turkey mixture. Spoon remaining turkey mixture into the dish around peppers. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle peppers with shredded Colby-Jack cheese. Bake, uncovered, until peppers are soft and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.

05

Step

Spoon a little loose turkey mixture onto a plate; place 1 bell pepper half on top. Top each with 1 teaspoon sour cream and 2 slices pickled jalapeño.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the ground turkey with a tablespoon of chili powder or smoked paprika.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a sprinkle of feta would be delicious.
If you're short on time, the filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño to suit your spice preference. For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes before dicing.
