Hannah's Turkey Stuffed Peppers

I love to try new recipes! When I find a good one, I LOVE to share it! This one came from Hannah from Biggest Loser Season 11. It was shown on Tuesday October 11, 2011 episode.

The family LOVED it!!

Olive Oil Spray (I used canola)
1/2 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 pounds of extra lean ground turkey
1 t. garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste
1/4 cup low sodium tomato sauce
1 cup fat free low sodium chicken broth, divided
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
3 Large sweet red bell peppers ( I used a combo of red, yellow and orange peppers)
1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, heat over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to the pan. Saute about 2 minutes or until softened. Add extra lean ground turkey to the pan. Season to taste with sale, and then add garlic powder and ground cumin. Break meat apart and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned, no longer pink, juices are clean. Add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the pan. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add chopped cilantro to the turkey mixture. There will be about 2 cups of turkey mixture. Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seed and stem. Put in baking dish and spoon about 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture into each pepper half. Place all stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour the rest of the chicken broth in the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for about 35 minutes. When done, sprinkle with cheese before serving.

Enjoy!!!
