Ingredients:
- 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 garlic, minced
- 1/4 onion, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 large sweet red bell peppers, washed
- 1 cup fat free chicken broth
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
- Olive oil spray
- 6 tbsp part skim shredded cheddar cheese*
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400F. Lightly mist a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- When hot, saute onion, garlic and cilantro for about 2 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. Add in ground turkey, garlic powder, and cumin. Saute turkey for about 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally until lightly browned and no longer pink.
- Pour 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chicken broth over meat and simmer for 5 minutes. When done, stir in cooked brown rice to the meat mixture and continue to stir until well blended. Remove from heat and set aside.
